Description
Summary:<p><i>Environmental Silicate Nano-Biocomposites</i> focuses on nano-biocomposites, which are obtained by the association of silicates such as bioclays with biopolymers. By highlighting recent developments and findings, green and biodegradable nano-composites from both renewable and biodegradable polymers are explored. This includes coverage of potential markets such as packaging, agricultures, leisure and the fast food industry.</p><p><br>The knowledge and experience of more than twenty international experts in diverse fields, from chemical and biochemical engineering to applications, is brought together in four different sections covering:</p><p><br>Biodegradable polymers and Silicates,<br>Clay/Polyesters Nano-biocomposites,<br>Clay/Agropolymers Nano-biocomposites, and<br>Applications and biodegradation of Nano-biocomposites.<br></p><p>By exploring the relationships between the biopolymer structures, the processes, and the final properties<i> Environmental Silicate Nano-Biocomposites</i> explains how to design nano-materials to develop new, valuable, environmentally friendly properties and uses. The combination of fundamental and applied science makes this an ideal reference for a range of readers from students and lecturers to material and polymer scientists and even industrial engineers who are interested in bringing new environmental nano-materials to the current market.<br></p>
