Biopolymers: biomedical and environmental applications

This handbook focuses on biopolymers for both environmental and biomedical applications. It shows recent advances in technology in all areas from chemicalsynthesis or biosynthesis to end use applications. These areas have not been covered in a single book before and they include biopolymers for chemical and biotechnological modifications, material structures, characterization, processing, properties, and applications. After the introduction which summarizes theimportance of biopolymer in the market, the book covers almost all the topicsrelated to polysaccharides, biofibers, bioplastics, biocomposites, natural rubber, gums, bacterial and blood compatible polymers, and applications of biopolymers in various fields.
