The book aims to offer practical guidance for researchers and industry professionals on selecting, ranking, formulating, and applying these additives in polymer manufacturing. Each additive's role in the industry and its mechanisms of action are thoroughly covered, offering readers a complete understanding of their applications. The book is divided into several parts: an overview of bio-based additives, industrial and research developments, classification of materials, advantages and challenges, as well as the mechanisms of performance.
It also delves into the economic aspects and commercial grades of each additive family, concluding with future research directions and developments.
- 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 the 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.
