Plant Biomass Applications: Materials, Modification and Characterization

Plant Biomass Application: Materials, Modification and Characterization focuses on the unique properties associated with plant biomass, from their biodegradable, non toxic, and safe for handling characteristics to their potential in developing sustainable, climate protecting products. The book covers all aspects of plant biomass materials opportunities, with a focus on the value-added product generated from plant biomass such as polymers, composites, transportation fuels, chemical intermediates/bulk chemicals, or sources of heat and generated power. The conversion of plant biomass into materials product such as plastics, fabrics, and carpets and specialty chemicals presents exciting possibilities for replacing traditionally used fossil fuels. Sections in this new release provide in-depth discussion on the materials derived from plant biomass and their current and potential future applications. Leading researchers from industries, academics, government, and private research institutions across the globe provided insights, making it an important reference for researchers and academics seeking to maximize plant biomass potential. Presents basic concepts, methods, technical concepts, literature review, and detailed application in particular fields for plant biomass materialsFocuses on the processing techniques for different biomassDescribes, in detail, processing methods, value-added products, and their applications in various fields like agriculture and food industry, energy, catalysis, and bio-medicinal applications INDICE: 1.
