Applications of Biopolymers and Biocomposites

About this book

Applications of Biopolymers and Biocomposites, part of a Two-Volume set, provides comprehensive information on the latest advances in this important research field. The book showcases how these materials are being used to address environmental challenges and create new and innovative solutions in fields such as packaging, where biopolymers offer biodegradability and reduced environmental impact; in the automotive industry, where lightweight and sustainable materials are much sought after; in construction, where biocomposites find use in structural components; and in biomedical fields, where biopolymers are being explored for drug delivery, tissue engineering, and medical devices.By highlighting these real-world applications, the volume facilitates the reader's understanding on how these materials are contributing to sustainable development and new innovative emerging technologies. As an accompaniment to its sister volume, which focuses on the preparation, processing, and properties of these materials, the two volumes work together to create a comprehensive picture of new developments in biopolymers and biocomposites. - Includes applications in food packaging - Covers biomedical implants, drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, bone regeneration, and medical devices - Includes environmental applications, such as filtration, wastewater treatment, and gas separation membranes - Covers automotive, aerospace, defense, and energy storage and conversion
