Biodegradable Polymers Materials and their Structures / Manjari Sharma.

By: Sharma, Manjari [author.].
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Boca Raton : CRC Press, 2021Edition: 1st edition.Description: 1 online resource illustrations (black and white).ISBN: 9781000385175; 1000385175; 9781003171591; 1003171591; 9781000385182; 1000385183.Subject(s): Plastics industry and trade | Biodegradable plastics | SCIENCE / Chemistry / GeneralDDC classification: 338.476684 Online resources: Taylor & Francis | OCLC metadata license agreement Summary: This book is about development of biodegradable polymers alternatives, which are required to save our reserves of fossil fuels and to save our mother earth from further environmental degradation. This book deals with the family of biodegradable polymers which have to be prepared with a novel idea of studying polymers with a Cradle to Grave approach. It touches upon basic materials, which can be potential materials to prepare biodegradable polymers with their basic structures, properties, behaviour and limitations known till date. This book will help students in understanding various characterization techniques which can be used for the study of identification of functional group, structural properties, thermal behaviour, crystallographic nature, mechanical properties and morphological properties through FTIR-ATR for physico chemical properties, DSC & TGA for thermal studies, XRD for crystallographic studies & SEM for morphological studies. It also provides an overview of various testing methods to analysebiodegradability including standard guideline for evaluation of biodegradation and compostability of polymer material through ASTM/ISO/EN standard methods. Note: T&F does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
