Polymers from Renewable Resources

With today's emphasis on sustainability, industries are looking to pursue sustainable technologies. Covering the current state-of-the art in the use of renewable resources and processes for producing polymeric materials, Polymers from Renewable Resources highlights the basic chemical structure of polymers, polymer precursors, and additives obtained from renewable resources that can be processed into engineering plastics and elastomers. Author Ramaswamy Nagararjan discusses specific properties of materials and the strategies adopted to render these materials suitable for specific applications.
