Description
Biobased Products and Industries fills the gap between academia and industry by covering all the important aspects of biobased products and their relevant industries in one single reference. Highlighting different perspectives of the bioeconomy, EU relevant projects, as well as the environmental impact of biobased materials and sustainability, the book covers biobased polymers, plastics, nanocomposites, packaging materials, electric devices, biofuels, textiles, consumer goods, and biocatalysis for the decarboxylation and decarboxylation of biobased molecules, including biobased products from alternative sources (algae) and the biobased production of chemicals through metabolic engineering.Focusing on the most recent advances in the field, the book also analyzes the potentiality of already commercialized processes and products.- Highlights the important aspects of biobased products as well as their relevant industries in one single reference- Focuses on the most recent advances in the field, analyzing the potentiality of already commercialized processes and products- Provides an ideal resource for anyone dealing with bioresource technology, biomass valorization and new products development
