This is an important reference source for those who would like to learn more about how biopolymeric nanocomposites are used in sustainability and environmental protection.
Biopolymers, including plant and sea-based polymers, play an important role in the formation and maintaining the stability of industrial nanocomposites; their common functions being the surface modification and protection for the highly oxidative-unstable cores, as stable base for holding multiple targets, and as a shield for the inorganic and highly toxic metals. These biopolymer-based nanocomposites are being used for applications in the electronics, automobile, construction and biomedical sectors.
- Explains the major design and development techniques of novel biopolymer-based nanocomposites
- Demonstrates how Nanocelluloses and Nanohydrogels are being used for environmental health and safety
- Explores how biopolymer-infused nanocellulose and nanogels are less toxic than their conventional counterparts
