This book compiles the most recent research works in biopolymers, their blends and composites, and the use of natural additives, such as vegetable oils and other renewable and waste-derived liquids, with their marked environmental efficiency devoted to developing novel sustainable materials. Therefore, Environmentally Friendly Polymers and Polymer Composites provides an overview to scientists of the potential of these environmentally friendly materials and helps engineers to apply these new materials for industrial purposes.Research & information: generalbicsscPLAPCLTPSbiopolymer blendsmechanical propertiescompostable plasticsgreen compositesnatural fillerspoly(butylene succinate) (PBS)almond shell flour (ASF)poly (lactic acid) (PLA)poly(butylene succinate-co-adipate) (PBSA)binary blendsshape memory behaviourpolymer‒matrix composites (PMCs)thermomechanicalelectron microscopycompatibilizerspoly(lactic acid) (PLA)natural fibre (NF)nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA)flammabilitycrab shellchitinspherical microgelsreverse micellegelationchitosan (CS)anti-oxidantanti-apoptotic activityrotenoneParkinson’s disease (PD)composite materialshybrid resinnatural reinforcementnon-uniformitiesmechanical behaviorantifungal activitydendrimerOriganum majorana L. essential oilPhytophthora infestansmaleinized linseed oil MLOpoly(lactic acid)diatomaceous earthbiocompositesactive containerspolymer mixturesblendscashew nut shell liquid (CNSL)polypropylenehigh impact polystyrenecompatibilizationPHBPHBVrice huskbiosustainabilitywaste valorizationbacterial cellulosenatural rubberreinforcingbiodegradable polymersArboformepoxidized oilmaleinized linseed oiltoughnessthermal stabilitypectinfood packagingactive compoundsagro-waste residuescircular economygraphene oxidesize selectionsodium alginatebio-based polymersbiodegradable polyesterswood plastic compositesnatural additives and fillerscomposites characterizationbioplastics manufacturingResearch & information: generalBalart Gimeno Rafael Antonioedt1296669Montañés Muñoz NestoredtDominici FrancoedtTorres-Giner SergioedtBoronat Vitoria TeodomiroedtBalart Gimeno Rafael AntonioothMontañés Muñoz NestorothDominici FrancoothTorres-Giner SergioothBoronat Vitoria TeodomiroothBOOK9910557109703321Environmentally Friendly Polymers and Polymer Composites3038139UNINA
