Biomass Polymer Materials: Sustainable Sourcing, Characterization, and Utilization

Produce polymers from renewable biomass using sustainable low-carbon technologies Replacing petroleum-derived polymers with biomass-based alternatives is central to low-carbon material technology.Biomass Polymer Materials: Sustainable Sourcing, Characterization, and Utilization, edited by a team of polymer and materials scientists from Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam, presents scientific concepts, research methods, and engineering applications for producing polymers from renewable biomass resources using environmentally responsible technologies.Biomass Polymer Materials covers the production, properties, and applications of biomass polymeric materials, linking fundamental research on biomass-derived materials to engineering solutions for low-carbon, sustainable societies.The volume explains biomass polymers as carbon-neutral alternatives to petroleum-sourced polymers while addressing the balance between societal needs, economic viability, and environmental stewardship from a glo
