Soybean Protein-Based Materials: Science and Applications

Soy protein is a natural polymer increasingly important for sustainable development in food and materials science. Although there are books on soy protein from the perspective of food science, soy protein from a materials sciences perspective remains relatively unexplored, even though its applications are numerous. The Science of Soy Protein-Based Materials gives a systematic introduction to the science and industry of soy protein-based materials. The title presents the structure, properties, and modification of soy protein, and its application in materials science. The book reviews the research history of soy protein, covers the latest developments in the field, and considers future directions. It gives the reader a grounding in the theory and technology of polymer chemistry, physics, and material science needed to understand soy protein. Seven chapters offer a new vision of soy protein outside its traditional niche within food science, relating it to adhesives, plastics, fiber, and biomaterials among other advanced functional materials. This book is a comprehensive guide to soy protein-based materials and their numerous applications. Focuses on the physico-chemical properties of soy protein in the most advanced film, fiber, adhesive, foam and other functional materialsCovers both laboratory research and industrial applications of the most advanced soy protein-based materialsIncludes soy protein-based biomaterials, a promising research areaConsiders the sustainable future of soy protein-based materials across various industrial applicationsOffers up a new materials science vision of soy protein-based materials INDICE: 1.
