Biopolymer Grafting: Synthesis and Properties provides a thorough review of the latest research and developments in biopolymer-based graft copolymers. The book presents a broad overview of the biopolymer grafting process, along with trends in the field. It also introduces a range of grafting methods which lead to materials with enhanced properties for a range of practical applications, along with the positives and limitations of these techniques. The book bridges the knowledge gap between the scientific principles and industrial applications of polymer grafting. Research into bio-based polymers has become increasingly prevalent. However, due to the challenges related to the properties of these materials compared to synthetic polymers-such as resistance to chemicals or weather-uptake has not dramatically increased yet. As a result, improvements in surface modification of bio-polymers through graft copolymerization are enormously important because they will widen the scope of their applications. The development of new graft copolymer materials from bio-polymers with excellent mechanical and barrier properties has been an important research challenge for the industries promising applications of their products. Introduces polymer researchers to a promising, rapidly developing method for modifying naturally derived biopolymersProvides a one-stop shop covering synthesis, properties, characterization and graft copolymerization of bio-based polymeric materialsIncreases familiarity with a range of biopolymer grafting processes, enabling materials scientists and engineers to improve material properties and widen the range of potential biopolymer applications INDICE: 1.
