Handbook of Natural Polymers, Volume 2
Functionalization, Surface Modification, and Properties
About this book
The Handbook of Natural Polymers, Volume Two: Functionalization, Surface Modification, and Properties covers modifications, functionalization, analysis and properties of polymers from natural sources. The book begins by introducing the current state-of-the-art, challenges and opportunities in natural polymers. This is followed by detailed coverage of methods for chemical, physical and surface modifications, and functionalization of natural polymers, including nanocellulose composites, gluten, chitin, alginate, pectin, keratin, shellac, wool, hemicellulose, lignin, natural rubber, albumin, collagen, gelatin, zein, soya protein, silk fibroin, gutta percha and gum. The final chapters explain several other key aspects, such as microscopical and spectroscopical analysis, mechanical, thermal, and more.The book aims to offer potential avenues for the preparation, modification, and implementation of advanced natural polymer-based materials with the desired properties for specific applications.
- Provides systematic coverage of the latest methods for functionalization, surface modification, and properties' analysis of natural polymers
- Includes an extensive range of natural polymer sources, including established biopolymers and emerging materials
- Explores modifications and properties of natural polymers and their related composites, blends, IPNs, gels and nanoparticles
