Von der hinteren Coverseite

Provides an exhaustive and unique overview of the synthesis, characterization, and practical applicability of antioxidant polymers in a variety of industries.

Antioxidant Polymers provides a complete and detailed overview of the recent developments in the field of polymeric materials showing antioxidant properties. Research into antioxidant polymers has grown enormously in the last decade because they have demonstrated a wide range of applications, from materials science to biomedical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and personal care, as well as the food packaging industry.

After an introductory overview on the antioxidant compounds, the volume goes into the description of the natural and synthetic polymeric antioxidants in detail, with a particular attention to both their chemical and biological properties. The extraction and modification of naturally occurring polymers, as well as the fabrication of totally synthetic compounds, is treated as well.

The 15 chapters are all written by acknowledged experts from both the university research environment and industry research and development labs located around the world.

The volume will be of prime interest to a wide variety of scientists and engineers including those in biomedical, pharmaceutical, and food research groups; polymer science and materials science research groups; research and development divisions in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, plastics materials, and food industries; botanical and marine researchers; and nano-engineers.
