Biofuels and Bioproducts from Lignocellulosic Materials: Biomaterials, Volume Three is part of a comprehensive three-volume set that explores the various possibilities of adding value to lignocellulosic biomass materials by transforming them into bioproducts, biofuels, and biomaterials. With an emphasis on microbial biotechnological solutions, each volume examines how renewable natural resources, agriculture waste management, and valorization of agro-wastes can sustainably produce energy and fuels, nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and biomaterials. This volume all aspects of biomaterials production from lignocellulosic materials. The book examines recent innovative approaches for conversion and assesses the role of engineered microorganisms and their mechanisms of action for biomaterials production.

The opening chapter of the book reviews the properties, types, production, and applications of various biomaterials. Following this, readers will find critical reviews of the latest developments and step-by-step guidance on key processes and methods, including novel, eco-friendly methods for biomass conversion that reduce waste. Finally, dedicated chapters review the techno-economic and LCA of lignocellulosic biomass conversion into different biomaterials such as bio-adhesives, biopolymers, bio-packaging materials, bioplastics, and value-added functional biomaterials.

Deepti Diwan

Dr. Deepti Diwan is a research instructor in the Department of Neurosurgery at Washington University School of medicine, Saint Louis, Missouri, USA. Dr. Diwan has garnered more than ten years of multidisciplinary research experience in diverse fields, including cancer, epigenetics, erythropoiesis, genomics, hemorrhagic stroke, microbiology/virology, nanotechnology, nanomedicine, protein-carbohydrate interactions, and radiation biology. She contributed to numerous research and review articles and presented academic and research-based papers at several national and international conferences. She also serves as an editor of international journals, namely, Biomaterials and Polymers Horizon, Nanofabrication, and Microbial Biosystems. Dr. Diwan and her group developed Genome Profiling (GP) technology and Microarray-with-Manageable Volumes (MMV) techniques. They were the first to successfully test the application of GP and MMV at the single-cell level to detect intra-organism differences.
