This unique multidisciplinary 8-volume set focuses on the emerging issues concerning synthesis, characterization, design, manufacturing and various other aspects of composite materials from renewable materials and provides a shared platform for both researcher and industry. The Handbook of Composites from Renewable Materials comprises a set of 8 individual volumes that brings an interdisciplinary perspective to accomplish a more detailed understanding of the interplay between the synthesis, structure, characterization, processing, applications and performance of these advanced materials. The Handbook comprises 169 chapters from world renowned experts covering a multitude of natural polymers/ reinforcement/ fillers and biodegradable materials. Volume 5 is solely focused on 'Biodegradable Materials'. Some of the important topics include but not limited to: Rice husk and its composites; biodegradable composites based on thermoplastic starch and talc nanoparticles; recent progress in biocomposites of biodegradable polymer; microbial polyesters: production and market; biodegradable and bioabsorbable materials for osteosynthesis applications; biodegradable polymers in tissue engineering; composites based on hydroxyapatite and biodegradable polylactide; biodegradable composites; development of membranes from biobased materials and their applications; green biodegradable composites based on natural fibers; fully biodegradable all-cellulose composites; natural fiber composites with bioderivative and/or degradable polymers; synthetic biodegradable polymers for bone tissue engineering; polysaccharides as green biodegradable platforms for building up electroactive composite materials; biodegradable polymer blends and composites from seaweeds; biocomposites scaffolds derived from renewable resources for bone tissue repair; pectin-based composites; recent advances in conductive composites based on biodegradable polymers for regenerative medicine applications; biosynthesis of PHAs and their biomedical applications; biodegradable soy protein isolate/poly(vinyl alcohol) packaging films; and biodegradability of biobased polymeric materials in natural environment. AudienceThis valuable reference work will be read and consulted by researchers, engineers and students both in academia and industry who are working in the field of materials science especially polymer composites/technology. Composites from renewable materials have significant industrial applications especially in the automotive, marine, aerospace, construction, wind energy and consumer goods industries.

Polymere gehören zu den faszinierendsten Materialien der heutigen Zeit und finden in nahezu allen Lebensbereichen Anwendung. Polymere kommen entweder direkt in der Natur vor oder werden chemisch für die jeweilige Zielanwendung synthetisiert. Fortschritte in den Polymerwissenschaften und die Einführung neuer Polymere haben zur Entwicklung einer großen Zahl an Polymeren mit einzigartigen Eigenschaften geführt. Verschiedene Polymertypen spielen nicht nur heute, sondern auch in Zukunft bei den unterschiedlichsten Anwendungen in vielen Feldern der moderner Pharmaforschung auf der ganzen Welt eine Schlüsselrolle ein.Dieses vierbändige Referenzewerk bietet ausführliche Kapitel zu den verschiedenen Arten von Polymeren, vermittelt Grundlagen und beschreibt den Einsatz von Polymeren bei den unterschiedlichsten pharmazeutischen Technologien. Die einzelnen Bände erläutern die Grundlagen bei auf Polymeren basierenden Materialien unterschiedlichster Herkunft sowie deren chemische Zusammensetzung, ergänzt um praktische, für die Pharmaindustrie zukunftsweisende Anwendungen. Jeder Band bietet einen tiefen Einblick in das jeweilige Themengebiet.

Polymers are one of the most fascinating materials of the present era finding their applications in almost every aspects of life. Polymers are either directly available in nature or are chemically synthesized and used depending upon the targeted applications.
