Advanced Applications of Bio-degradable Green Composites

by Amir Al-Ahmed (Editor), Inamuddin (Editor)

Overview

The book reports progress on the development of new biodegradable polymers, composites and nanocomposites for use in such areas as drug delivery, packaging, food and agricultural technology. The world has become increasingly worried about non-degradable polymers used in our daily activities. Hence, biodegradable polymers and composites are of growing demand to replace petroleum based polymers and products.
