Wool 520 $aBio-Based Polymers and Composites is the first book systematically describing the green engineering, chemistry and manufacture of biobased polymers and composites derived from plants. This book gives a thorough introduction to bio-based material resources, availability, sustainability, biobased polymer formation, extraction and refining technologies, and the need for integrated research and multi-disciplinary working teams. It provides an in-depth description of adhesives, resins, plastics, and composites derived from plant oils, proteins, starches, and natural fibers in terms of structures, properties, manufacturing, and product performance. This is an excellent book for scientists, engineers, graduate students and industrial researchers in the field of bio-based materials. * First book describing the utilization of crops to make high performance plastics, adhesives, and composites * Interdisciplinary approach to the subject, integrating genetic engineering, plant science, food science, chemistry, physics, nano-technology, and composite manufacturing. * Explains how to make green materials at low cost from soyoil, proteins, starch, natural fibers, recycled newspapers, chicken feathers and waste agricultural by-products 533 $aElectronic reproduction.$bAmsterdam :$cElsevier Science & Technology,$d2007.$nMode of access: World Wide Web.$nSystem requirements: Web browser.$nTitle from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).$nAccess may be restricted to users at subscribing institutions 650 0$aPlant polymers 650 0$aBiopolymers 650 0$aPlants$xComposition 655 7$aElectronic books.$2local 700 1 $aSun, Xiuzhi Susan$eauthor$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0738213 776 1 $cOriginal$z0127639527$z9780127639529$w(DLC) 2005013910$w(OCoLC)60514999 856 40$3Referex$uhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780127639529$zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information 856 41$zTable of contents only$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0513/2005013910.html 856 42$zPublisher description$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0622/2005013910-d.html 907 $a.b1365309x$b03-03-22$c24-01-08 912 $a991003235839707536 996 $aBio-based polymers and composites$91462067 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale026$b24-01-08$cm$d@ $e-$feng$gne $h0$i0
