Starch-based Blends, Composites and Nanocomposites, Hardback Book

Starch-based Blends, Composites and Nanocomposites Hardback

Edited by Visakh P M, Long (CSIRO, Australia) Yu

Part of the Green Chemistry Series series

Hardback

Description

Starch is one of the most widely available natural biomaterials and is commonly used in biodegradable packaging.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of recent developments in starch-based materials. The book focuses on the types of starch available from different sources, in particular the various aspects of preparation, structure, processing, morphology, properties and applications of starch materials and their polymer blends, composites and nanocomposites.

It is ideal for students and researchers in chemistry, polymer science, materials science, biotechnology and life sciences working in bio-based and biodegradable polymers and composites, well as those interested in its applications.
