The knowledge and experience of more than twenty international experts in diverse fields, from chemical and biochemical engineering to applications, is brought together in four different sections covering:
Biodegradable polymers and Silicates,
Clay/Polyesters Nano-biocomposites,
Clay/Agropolymers Nano-biocomposites, and
Applications and biodegradation of Nano-biocomposites.
By exploring the relationships between the biopolymer structures, the processes, and the final properties Environmental Silicate Nano-Biocomposites explains how to design nano-materials to develop new, valuable, environmentally friendly properties and uses. The combination of fundamental and applied science makes this an ideal reference for a range of readers from students and lecturers to material and polymer scientists and even industrial engineers who are interested in bringing new environmental nano-materials to the current market.
Pr. Luc Averous and Dr. Eric Pollet work on green nano-biocomposites since 2001. On this specific topic, they have published more than 25 international papers and 5 book chapters.
