Technology and Applications of Polymers Derived from Biomass provides information on the range of different possible routes from biomass to polymeric materials, discusses the value and limitations of using biomass in material applications, and compares petrochemical-derived polymers with bio-based polymers. The book imparts fundamental understanding of biomass, including its sources, types of biomass, chemistry of biomass, and handling concerns. It covers the manufacture of industrial chemicals from biomass and the derivation of monomers and polymers from biomass. It also goes into more detail in the processing and applications of biomass-derived polymers, to enable materials scientists and engineers to realise the potential of biomass as a sustainable source of polymers including plastics and elastomers. The book is a one-stop-shop reference - giving students a basic understanding of the technology and how the material can be applied to industrial processes that will face them in the workforce, and giving materials engineers and product designers the information they need to make more informed material selection decisions. Provides fundamental understanding of an increasingly important approach to sourcing polymeric materialsIncludes actionable, relevant information to enable materials engineers and product designers to consider biomass-derived polymers in the products they are developingDiscusses the environmental impact of biomass conversion, to help readers improve the sustainability of their operations INDICE: 1.
