Publisher's Synopsis
Biodegradable polymers have experienced a growing interest in recent years for applications in packaging, agriculture, automotive, medicine and other areas. One of the drivers for this development is the great quantity of synthetic plastic discarded improperly in the environment. Therefore, R&D in industry and in academic research centres search for materials that are reprocessable and biodegradable. This unique book comprises 12 chapters written by subject specialists and is a state-of-the-art look at all types of polyethylene-based biocomposites and bionanocomposites.
