With growing concern for the environment and the rising price of crude oil, there is increasing demand for non-petroleum-based polymers from renewable resources. Recognizing emerging developments in biopolymer systems research, this book brings together a number of key biopolymer and bioplastic topics in one place. The book highlights the importance and impact of eco-friendly green biopolymers and bioplastics, both environmentally and economically. It provides important insight into the diversity of polymers obtained directly from, or derived from, renewable resources.

This volume, Applied Biopolymer Technology and Bioplastics: Sustainable Development by Green Engineering Materials, will be valuable for a broad audience of engineers and scientists, especially those designing with biopolymers and biodegradable plastics, or evaluating the options for switching from traditional plastics to biopolymers. The content of this book will prove useful for students, researchers, and professionals working in the field of green technology.

Neha Kanwar Rawat, PhD, is a recipient of prestigious DST Young Scientist Postdoctoral Fellowship and is presently a researcher in the Materials Science Division, CSIR–National Aerospace Laboratories, Bangalore, India. Her main interests include nanotechnology-nanostructured materials synthesis and characterization, green chemistry, novel sustainable chemical processing of nano-conducting polymers/nanocomposites, conducting films, ceramics, silicones, matrices: epoxies, alkyds, polyurethanes, etc. She also pursues her interest in fusing new technology in areas that include electrochemistry, organic-inorganic hybrid nanocomposites, and protective surface coatings for corrosion inhibition and MW shielding materials. She has published numerous peer-reviewed research articles in professional journals. Her contributions have led to many chapters in international books published with the Royal Society of Chemistry, Wiley, Elsevier, Apple Academic Press, and Nova U.S., and there are many others in progress. She has been working on many prestigious research and academic fellowships in her career. She is a member of many groups, including the Royal Society of Chemistry and the American Chemical Society (USA) and a life member of the Asian Polymer Association. She received her PhD in chemistry from Jamia Millia Islamia (A Central University), India.

Tatiana G. Volova, DSc
Professor and Head, Department of Biotechnology, Siberian Federal University, Krasnoyarsk, Russia

Tatiana G. Volova, DSc, is Professor and Head, Department of Biotechnology at Siberian Federal University, Krasnoyarsk, Russia. She is the creator and head of the Laboratory of Chemoautotrophic Biosynthesis at the Institute of Biophysics, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Professor Volova is the author of more than 300 scientific works, including monographs, inventions, and a series of textbooks for universities. Professor Volova is conducting research in the field of physico-chemical biology and biotechnology and is a well-known expert in the field of microbial physiology and biotechnology. Dr. Volova has created and developed a new and original branch in chemoautotrophic biosynthesis, in which the two main directions of the 21st century technologies are conjugate, hydrogen energy, and biotechnology. Under the guidance of Professor Volova, the pilot production facility of single cell protein, utilizing hydrogen had been created and put into operation. The possibility of involvement of man-made sources of hydrogen into biotechnological processes as a substrate, including synthesis gas from brown coals and vegetable wastes, was demonstrated in her research. She had initiated and deployed in Russia comprehensive research on microbial degradable bioplastics; the results of this research cover various aspects of biosynthesis, metabolism, physiological role, structure, and properties of these biopolymers and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), and have made a scientific basis for their biomedical applications and allowed them to be used for biomedical research.
