Ulteriori informazioni
Das Buch stellt die neuesten Ergebnisse zum Einsatz von Biopolymeren als Hochleistungs-Kunststoffe vor. Schwerpunkte sind dabei neben Abbaubarkeit und verbessertem Brandverhalten vor allem Verarbeitung und die Verwendung natürlicher Materialien (basierend auf Zellulose und Protein) als Verstärkungsmittel für Kunststoff-Verbunde. Deren Einfluss auf strukturelle, morphologische, thermische und mechanische Eigenschaften wird eingehend untersucht.

Riassunto
This unique volume covers the results of the world-wide efforts to implement natural polymers as engineering plastics and the use of their inherent properties. The processing opportunities and the applications of the natural materials as reinforcement of polymer composites are discussed, including the structural, morphological and thermal characterization as well as the mechanical behavior of the obtained materials. Also covered is the preparation of biodegradable homopolymers, blends and composites, which involves chemical reactions, regardless of the type of the starting material.
