Revolutionize the search for sustainable industry with these biodegradable materials
The search for biodegradable materials has become an increasingly essential component of the global response to climate change and the urgent need for more sustainable industrial processes. Biodegradable polymers, either synthetic or natural, have become an explosive research subject as their applications in food, medicinal, and pharmaceutical industries become more and more apparent. There is an urgent need for chemists and other professionals working in these industries to understand the range of available biopolymers and how to use them.
Biopolymers in Pharmaceutical and Food Applications presents an overview of all currently-known food-safe polymers and their applications for food and pharmaceutical technology. Its grasp of recent sustainable trends in biopolymer production and distribution make it a one-stop shop for researchers and industry professionals looking to understand the future of sustainable food production, pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. Comprehensive and accessible, it has never been timelier as a contribution to these key industries.
Readers of the two volumes of Biopolymers in Pharmaceutical and Food Applications will also find:
- Treatment of biopolymers including collagen, chitosan, carrageenan, and more
- Detailed discussion of drug delivery systems incorporating plant- and animal-based biopolymers
- An editor with extensive research and teaching experience in biopolymer and pharmaceutical research
Biopolymers in Pharmaceutical and Food Applications is ideal for polymer chemists, pharmaceutical chemists, food scientists, and any other researcher looking to work with biodegradable polymers.
