However, these water-friendly structures are also very useful for other applications, such as the adsorption of pollutants from sewage water. The modulation of the final properties of water-soluble and insoluble polymers tends to define the spectra of features associated with their final applications.Biology, life sciencesbicsscResearch and information: generalbicsscAdvanced Polymer Chromatography™biodegradable polymersbiodegradationbiopolymerschitosancircular economyclad ratiocontact anglecore materialdrug deliveryfilm formationfunctionalized materialsglycerolhydrophobic transitionslower critical solution temperaturemarine watermicrocapsulemicroplasticsmolecular weightsn/aNMRPBCApoly(lactic acid)poly(vinyl alcohol)self-healingsustainable developmentthermoresponsive polymerstoxicitywater dispersionswater emulsionswaterborne coatingBiology, life sciencesResearch and information: generalGarcía-Peñas AlbertoStadler Florian J.BOOK9910580207903321Water-Soluble and Insoluble Polymers and Biopolymers for Biomedical, Environmental, and Biological Applications3655967UNINA
