Summary: As an area of high topical interest, Biopolymers - New materials for Sustainable Films and Coatings covers the development and utilization of polymers derived from bioresources, with a particular focus on film and coating applications. With growing concern for the environment and the rising price of crude oil, there is increasing demand for non-petroleum-based polymers from renewable resources. Leading research groups worldwide in industry and academe are working on such technology with the objective of applying the latest advances in the field. Written by well-respected experts, this text systematically covers the extraction and production of selected biopolymers as well as their properties and application as films or coatings in a variety of uses. The areas addressed include food packaging, edible coatings, paper coatings and agricultural films. Intended for researchers and students, this book will also be of interest to industry, especially in terms of the practical applications.Summary: Biopolymers - New Materials for Sustainable Films and Coatings -- Contents -- Preface -- About the Editor -- List of Contributors -- Part I -- 1 Introductory Overview -- 1.1 INTRODUCTION -- 1.2 WORLDWIDE MARKETS FOR FILMS AND COATINGS -- 1.2.1 Total Polymer Production and Use -- 1.2.2 Total Production and Use of Plastic Films -- 1.2.3 Coatings -- 1.3 SUSTAINABILITY -- 1.4 BIO-DERIVED POLYMERS -- 1.5 OTHER TOPICS -- REFERENCES -- 2 Production, Chemistry and Degradation of Starch-Based Polymers -- 2.1 INTRODUCTION -- 2.2 GELATINIZATION -- 2.3 EFFECT OF GELATINIZATION PROCESS AND PLASTICIZER ON STARCH PROPERTIES -- 2.4 RETROGRADATION -- 2.5 PRODUCTION OF STARCH-POLYMER BLENDS -- 2.6 BIODEGRADATION OF STARCH-BASED POLYMERS -- 2.7 CONCLUDING REMARKS -- 2.8 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT -- REFERENCES -- 3 Production, Chemistry and Properties of Polylactides -- 3.1 INTRODUCTION -- 3.2 PRODUCTION OF POLYLACTIDES -- 3.2.1 Lactic Acid and its Production -- 3.2.2 Production Methods for Polylactide -- 3.3 POLYLACTIDE CHEMISTRY -- 3.3.1 Tacticity -- 3.3.2 Molecular Weight and its Distribution -- 3.3.3 Conversion and Yield -- 3.3.4 Copolymerization -- 3.3.5 Characterization of Lactic Acid Derivatives and Polymers -- 3.4 PROPERTIES OF POLYLACTIDES -- 3.4.1 Processability -- 3.4.2 Thermal Stability -- 3.4.3 Hydrolytic Stability -- 3.4.4 Thermal Transitions and Crystallinity of PLA -- 3.4.5 Barrier and Other Properties -- 3.5 CONCLUDING REMARKS -- REFERENCES -- 4 Production, Chemistry and Properties of Polyhydroxyalkanoates -- 4.1 INTRODUCTION -- 4.2 POLYHYDROXYALKANOATE SYNTHESIS -- 4.2.1 Background -- 4.2.2 Bacterial Biosynthesis of Polyhydroxyalkanoates -- 4.2.3 Production of Polyhydroxyalkanoates by Genetically Modified Organisms -- 4.2.4 Chemical Synthesis of Polyhydroxyalkanoates -- 4.3 PROPERTIES OF POLYHYDROXYALKANOATES.PPN: PPN: 809505487Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PQE
