Miscellaneous. 330 $aThis book introduces biomass which is utilized all over the world based on geographical, cultural, and historical background. It covers 18 major biomass types and several specific plants categorized into 3 groups based on their usage. The present and historical background of representative materials from biomass, such as cellulose, lignin, chitin, sugar, molasses, amylose, and other interesting natural biopolymers, such as hyaluronan, gum Arabic, and others are introduced. Furthermore, characteristic features of representative and influential plants, such as rice, eucalyptus, and oil palm are described together with historical episodes. Although physicochemical characteristic properties of each material and plant have been published over many decades, scarcely a comprehensive introduction on biomass together with Asian, European, and Latin American cultural backgrounds. In this book, biomass familiar to everybody?s life is introduced based on scientific and cultural viewpoints. It guides readers to gain background knowledge of targeting biomass to be developed as industrial resources. In addition to students, scientists, and lecturers, the book will be useful for industrial engineers, both specialists in polymer science and technology and materials experts. 606 $aBiomedical engineering 606 $aRenewable energy sources 606 $aBiopolymers 606 $aBiomaterials 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering 606 $aRenewable Energy 606 $aBiopolymers 606 $aChemical Bioengineering 606 $aBiomaterials 615 0$aBiomedical engineering. 615 0$aRenewable energy sources. 615 0$aBiopolymers. 615 0$aBiomaterials. 615 0$aBiotechnology. 615 14$aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering. 615 24$aRenewable Energy. 615 24$aBiopolymers. 615 24$aChemical Bioengineering. 615 24$aBiomaterials. 676 $a610.28 700 $aHatakeyama$b Tatsuko$01742689 701 $aHatakeyama$b Hyoe$01742690 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910865239603321 996 $aBiomass with Culture and Geography$94169396 997 $aUNINA
