Description
The use of renewable biobased carbon feedstock is taken seriously into consideration today because it offers the intrinsic value of a reduced carbon footprint and an improved life cycle analysis, within the framework of a sustainable and environmental development. These biobased products with particular chemical architectures succeed as a good alternative to conventional and fossil-based chemical feedstock. This book is a unique volume and begins with an introduction that summarizes the importance of biodegradable and biobased polymers in the market. The volume covers almost all the topics related to biodegradable and biobased polymers for environmental and biomedical applications.
Specifically, the book highlights:
•
Developments in polyhydroxyalkanoates applications in agriculture, biodegradable packaging material and biomedical fields like drug delivery systems, implants, tissue engineering and scaffolds
•
The synthesis and elaboration of cellulose microfibrils from sisal fibres for high performance engineering applications in various sectors such as the automotive, aerospace industries, building and construction
•
The different classes and chemical modifications of tannins
•
Electro-activity and applications of Jatropha latex and seed
•
The synthesis, properties and applications of poly(lactic acid)
•
The synthesis, processing and properties of poly(butylene succinate), its copolymers, composites and nanocomposites
•
The different routes for preparation of polymers from vegetable oil and the effects of reinforcement and nano-reinforcement on the physical properties of such biobased polymers
•
The different types of modified drug delivery systems together with the concept of the drug delivery matrix for controlled release of drugs and for antitumor drugs
•
The use of nanocellulose as sustainable adsorbents for the removal of water pollutants mainly heavy metal ions, organic molecules, dyes, oil and CO2
•
The main extraction techniques, structure, properties and different chemical modifications of lignins
•
Proteins and nucleic acid-based biopolymers
•
The role of tamarind seed polysaccharide-based multiple-unit systems in sustained drug release
