The book starts with a general overview of each bio-based additive and its role in polymer industry, along with their mechanisms of action based on their defined functions. In Part II, industrial and research developments are discussed, as well as classification of materials’ family, their loading level, main advantages over their usage, challenging aspects, and mechanism of performance. Finally, Part III focuses on the economy and commercial grades for each family of bio-based additives, followed by a discussion on research directions and future development in Part IV.
- Analyzes a wide range of sustainable additives, their current use in industry, and potential future applications
- Explores the selection criteria of bio-based additives for sustainable development of polymer materials based on their physico-chemical properties
- Provides practical guidance on how to select, rank, formulate and apply bio-based additives in polymer manufacturing processes
Academic and industry researchers and engineers who are interested in selection of the bio-based additives for developing sustainable polymer materials, blends, composites, and nanocomposites.
