Offering a unique perspective summarizing research on this timely important topic around the globe, this book provides comprehensive coverage of how molecular biomass can be transformed into sustainable polymers. It critically discusses and compares a few classes of biomass – oxygen–rich, hydrocarbon–rich, hydrocarbon and non–hydrocarbon (including carbon dioxide) as well as natural polymers – and equally includes products that are already commercialized. A must–have for both newcomers to the field as well as established researchers in both academia and industry. INDICE: List of Contributors xi .1 Introduction 1Mitra S.
