There is a growing demand for strategies to address the impact of polymers and plastics in ecosystems. The principles of green chemistry offer a good source of such strategies. Ecofriendly Functional Polymers: An Approach from Application-Targeted Green Chemistry provides a holistic overview of polymer chemistry, development, and applications in the context of these sustainability-driven principles. It encourages researchers to consider the principles of green chemistry, environmental impacts, and end-user needs as integral aspects for consideration at the earliest stages of any design process, and draws together key aspects of polymer chemistry, organic synthesis, experimental design, and applications in a single volume.
Beginning with an authoritative guide to fundamental polymer chemistry and its impact in the current environmental context, th then discusses a range of key theoretical and experimental aspects of designing eco-friendly functional polymers. Applications of ecofriendly functional polymers across an entire range of fields are discussed, and a selection of case studies highlights the implementation of theoretical and experimental information to address a broad selection of issues.
- Highlights the physicochemical principles of green chemistry and the development of biodegradable and recyclable polymers in this context
- Compiles key information connecting structural features with properties, experimental strategies, and appropriate applications into a single volume
- Discusses requirements and applications across a broad range of fields, supported by practical examples
This book is a must-read for anyone interested in sustainable chemistry! It offers practical insights into eco-friendly polymer applications, making complex concepts accessible. The authors provide innovative solutions for green alternatives, perfect for researchers and industry professionals. Highly recommended for its clear, actionable approach to sustainability.
