Handbook of Natural Polymers, Volume 3

Versatile Applications

About this book

The Handbook of Natural Polymers: Versatile Applications offers a comprehensive and current overview of advanced uses of natural biopolymers across diverse fields. Beginning with an introduction to the state-of-the-art and emerging opportunities, the book explores natural polymers in areas such as biosensing, drug delivery, cosmetics, tissue engineering, textiles, adhesives, food technology, super adsorbents, automotive and construction materials, 3D printing, paper, nanoelectronics, separation processes, military uses, smart devices, water purification, dentistry, agriculture, packaging, and energy storage.Each section details polymer sources, preparation, properties, and applications, highlighting innovations and new directions. Sustainable themes including environmental remediation and conversion of natural polymers into biofuels are also addressed.As part of a three-volume handbook offering comprehensive coverage of natural polymers, this book will appeal to academic researchers, scientists, advanced students, engineers, and R&D professionals across multiple disciplines and industries seeking broad and detailed knowledge of natural polymers and their applications. - Focuses on the latest technologies, evaluation methods, technical aspects, and advanced synthesis techniques for stimuli-responsive polymers - Explores cutting-edge medical applications of stimuli-responsive polymers - Analyses synergistic operational and technological approaches to enhance polymer systems for drug delivery applications
