Springer Natural Polymers: Industry Techniques and Applications

This book introduces the most recent innovations in natural polymer applications in the food, construction, electronics, biomedical, pharmaceutical, and engineering industries. The authors provide perspectives from their respective range of industries covering classification, extraction, modification, and application of natural polymers from various sources in nature. They discuss the techniques used in analysis of natural polymers in various systems incorporating natural polymers as well as their intrinsic properties.   Review “The authors and editor have constructed a table of contents with a dozen understandable chapters. Each elegantly illustrates the progression of the title’s overall subject matter. … Strongly supported by a global menu of authors, the work itself is eloquently composed and replete with current references throughout many of its chapters. … It is easy to enjoy this work–and most readers will. Summing Up: Recommended. All readers.” (L. W.
