Going beyond mere introduction, the book delves deep into the characteristics of various biopolymers and bionanocomposites and discuses, the nuances of their preparation with a view to help researchers to find out newer and novel applications. Chapter 2 of the book, for instance, describes the preparation of Chitin Nanofibers and their Composites and goes even to the basics like isolation of CNFs from different sources. Chapter 3 is on Chemical Modification of Chitosan and its Biomedical Application. While, Biometric lessons for processing chitin based composites are provided in Chapter 4, the next chapter deals with Morphological and Thermal Investigations of Chitin-based Nanocomposites. Mechanical properties of chitin-based nanocomposites are discussed in Chapter 6 and Preparation and Applications of Chitin Nanofibers/Nanowhiskers is the topic of Chapter 7. Thus, Chapters 2 to 7 are allotted to Chitin and related topics"--Provided by publisher.Wiley Series on Polymer Engineering and TechnologyBiopolymersNanocomposites (Materials)Biopolymers.Nanocomposites (Materials)572TEC009010bisacshDufresne Alain1962-1611369Thomas Sabu851308Pothan Laly A962676MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818814003321Biopolymer nanocomposites3939612UNINA02522nam 22004453a 450 991014017600332120250203232804.0https://doi.org/10.2307/j.ctv6gqtcc(CKB)2670000000497766(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/90618(ScCtBLL)5ef7772a-8803-4bd4-afe7-7e586735a025(OCoLC)1125477175(oapen)doab90618(EXLCZ)99267000000049776620250203i20132019 uu engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierGreening the Maple : Canadian Ecocriticism in Context /Ella Soper, Nicholas BradleyCalgaryUniversity of Calgary Press2013[s.l.] :University of Calgary Press,2013.1 electronic resource (624 p.)Energy, Ecology, and the Environment9781552385487 1552385485 Ecocriticism can be described in very general terms as the investigation of the many ways in which culture and the environment are interrelated and conceptualized. Ecocriticism aspires to understand and often to celebrate the natural world, yet it does so indirectly by focusing primarily on written texts. Hailed as one of the most timely and provocative developments in literary and cultural studies of recent decades, it has also been greeted with bewilderment or scepticism by those for whom its aims and methods are unclear. This book seeks to bring into view the development of ecocriticism in the context of Canadian literary studies. Selections include work by Margaret Atwood, Northrop Frye, Sherrill Grace, and Rosemary Sullivan. With Contributions By: Margaret Atwood, Pamela Banting, D.M.R.
