I. Applications of polymers in agriculture -- pt. II. Applications of polymers in food. 330 $aThis book looks at the applications of polymeric materials in agriculture and the food industry as a way to meet the growing demands of food production and to reduce the environmental pollution associated with the use of agrochemicals.   Following a detailed description of polymeric materials, Part I addresses in depth their use in both agriculture and agrochemicals. Part II focuses more closely on the role of polymeric materials in food, more specifically in food processing of especially dairy, sugar, juices and water, food additives, and food packaging and protection.     About the Author Ahmed Akelah is currently Professor Emeritus of Polymer Chemistry at Tanta University, Egypt. He received his Dr. rer. nat. degree from Bonn University, Germany (1978) and his D.Sc. from Cairo University (2010) with a dissertation titled Reactive Functionalized Polymers and Nanocomposites and Their Applications for Achieving Green Chemistry in Chemical Reactions and Agriculture. 606 $aPolymers 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aFood industry and trade 615 0$aPolymers. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aFood industry and trade. 676 $a54 676 $a541.2254 676 $a631.8 676 $a641.3 700 $aAkelah$b Ahmed$01060622 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910741197603321 996 $aFunctionalized Polymeric Materials in Agriculture and the Food Industry$93553016 997 $aUNINA
