Short description Biomass as a resource or starting material for advances in nanotechnology has been somewhat neglected, even there is an amazing array of structure/function relationships at the molecular level inherent in biomass polymer systems. This book will highlight the intrinsic material properties of biomass at the nanoscopic level for a range of uses including new polymer blends, plastics, biocomposite materials, biomedical engineering and high strength materials.
Biomass Nanotechnology will be an invaluable tool that will target chemists, chemical engineers, bioscience researchers and materials scientists and help them to gain a deeper appreciation of the advances and opportunities that exist for using biomass substrates in the nanotechnology applications.
