Handbook of Sustainable Polymers: Structure and Chemistry

This book seeks to address the fundamental understanding of the structure and chemistry of sustainable polymers. It covers the fundamentals of sustainable polymers and presents guidelines in a logical and clear manner for students and researchers. The text explores the structure and chemistry of various sustainable polymers, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, chitosan, starch, guar gum, pectin, and protein, for possible development of green sustainable materials. Each chapter is authored by highly accomplished experts in the field of sustainable polymers and discusses in detail the chemistry and structure of sustainable polymers procured from different natural resources.
