Klappentext

This book presents detailed insights into the characterization of bionanocomposite materials based on rubber. Examining various classes of material bases, such as cellulose, chitin, starch, soy proteins, polylactic acid (PLA), bacterial cellulose and casein, it offers a valuable reference resource for graduate and postgraduate engineering students, researchers and polymer engineers working in industry.
