The vast majority of plastic products are made from petroleum-based synthetic polymers that do not degrade in a landfill site or in a compost-like environment. As a consequence, the disposal of these products poses a serious environmental problem. An environmentally-conscious alternative is to design polymers that are biodegradable. This book explores the fundamental concepts concerning the development of biodegradable polymers, the production of degradable polymers from sustainable sources, the properties and mechanisms of degradation and industrial applications. This authoritative book will be invaluable for academics, researchers and all those involved in the manufacture and use of biodegradable polymers.
