Editat de Sabu Thomas, Ajitha AR, Cintil Jose Chirayil, Bejoy Thomasen Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 apr 2023
This book on biopolymers offers a comprehensive source for biomaterial professionals. It covers all elementary topics related to the properties of biopolymers, the production, and processing of biopolymers, applications of biopolymers, examples of biopolymers, and the future of biopolymers.
Edited by experts in the field, the book highlights international professionals’ longstanding experiences and addresses the requirements of practitioners and newcomers in this field in finding a solution to their problems. The book brings together several natural polymers, their extraction/production, and physio-chemical features. The topics covered in this book are biopolymers from renewable sources, marine prokaryotes, soy protein and humus oils, biopolymer recycling, chemical modifications, and specific properties. The book also focuses on the potential and diverse applications of biogenic and bio-derived polymers. The content includes industrial applications of natural polymeric molecules and applications in key areas such as material, biomedical, sensing, packaging, biomedicine, and biotechnology, and tissue engineering applications are discussed in detail.
The objective of this book is to fill the gap between the researchers working in the laboratory to cutting-edge technological applications in related industries. This book will be a very valuable reference material for graduates and post-graduate students, academic researchers, professionals, research scholars, and scientists, and for anyone who has a flavor for doing biomaterial research. The books are designed to serve as a bridge between undergraduate textbooks in biochemistry and professional literature. The book provides universal perspectives for an emerging field where classical polymer science blends with molecular biology with highlights on recent advances.

Notă biografică
Dr. Ajitha A R is a senior researcher at International and Interuniversity Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (IIUCNN), Mahatma Gandhi University. She completed her Doctoral research in the area of Polymer Science, incorporating Nano materials in thermoplastics. Her research area includes preparation of nanocomposites, their characterization and modification of nanofillers. She received two patents and published eleven research articles in international journals of high impact factor. She edited one book titled “Compatibilization of Polymer Blends” (Elsevier publication). She has also authored more than fourteen book chapters in international books and presented papers in many international conferences and seminars. She is an expert in the field of engineering application of nanomaterials.
Dr. Cintil Jose Chirayil is Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry, Newman College, Kerala, India. She received her Ph.D. in Polymer Science from Mahatma Gandhi University, India, and completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Centre for Advanced Materials, Qatar University, Doha. She has 12 years of research experience in the field of Nanoscience and nanocellulose with 20 publications in international peer reviewed journals and fifteen book chapters and one edited book Elsevier International publishing company. In addition to the Young Scientist Award, 2011 (Leed’s University London and NIT Calicut), she was the recipient of Foreign scholarships from University of Potsdam-Germany; University of Mara-Malaysia, Institute of Chemistry-Austria, for in depth research in the field of Nano science.
