Advanced Applications of Biobased Materials: Food, Biomedical, and Environmental Applications

Advanced Applications of Biobased Materials: Food, Biomedical, and Environmental Applications brings together cutting-edge developments in the preparation and application of biobased materials. The book begins by providing an overview of biobased materials, their classification, and their physical and chemical modifications. This is followed by a section covering the latest techniques in fabrication, processing and characterization. Subsequent chapters are grouped by application area, offering insights into advanced and emerging utilizations of biobased materials in food, biomedical and environmental applications. Sections cover lifecycle assessment, circular economy, sustainability, and future potential. This is a valuable resource for researchers, scientists and advanced students across polymer science, sustainable materials, biomaterials, materials chemistry, composite science, nanotechnology, biomedical engineering, and environmental science, as well a great book for engineers and R&D with an interest in biobased materials for emerging applications in the areas of biomedicine, food and the environment. Presents processing methods, characterization techniques, and the latest advances in biobased materials Focuses on advanced and emerging applications of biobased materials in three key areas - food, biomedicine and the environment Considers sustainability issues relating to biobased materials, including environmental impact, lifecycle assessment and the circular economy INDICE: Section I: Fundamentals, classification, and modification of biobased materials 1.
