The book will provide a comprehensive overview of the recent accomplishments in the area of polyhydroxyalkanoates providing a resource that helps find solutions to both fundamental and applied problems. The book introduces polyhydroxyalkanoates including their biosynthesis, recovery and extraction followed by specific chapters on blends, composites and nanocomposites. The book finishes with the applications of the materials including additives in paints, adhesives, production of plastics as well as tissue engineering and drug delivery. The book provides a reference for students and researchers in chemistry, polymer science, materials science, biotechnology and life sciences working in the field of bio-based and biodegradable polymers and composites as well as those interested in its applications. 606 $aBiodegradable plastics 606 $aPoly-beta-hydroxyalkanoates 606 $aChemical Engineering$2HILCC 606 $aChemical & Materials Engineering$2HILCC 606 $aEngineering & Applied Sciences$2HILCC 615 0$aBiodegradable plastics. 615 0$aPoly-beta-hydroxyalkanoates. 615 7$aChemical Engineering 615 7$aChemical & Materials Engineering 615 7$aEngineering & Applied Sciences 676 $a668.40286 700 $aRoy$b Ipsita$01824220 702 $aRoy$b Ipsita 702 $aRoy$b Ipsita 702 $aP.
