Advanced Applications of Biobased Materials

Emerging 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 physical and chemical modification. 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. The final part of the book highlights other key considerations, including life cycle 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 as for engineers and R&D with an interest in biobased materials for emerging applications in the areas of biomedicine, food, and environment.
