Book Description:
This complete set covers the morphology, structure, dynamics, properties and applications of all important natural polymers including the synthesis, characterisation and applications of natural polymer systems. The state-of-the-art techniques for the characterisation of natural polymers and their micro and nanostructured natural polymer systems are described. Finally, the various applications of natural polymer systems are covered. Leading researchers in this field from across the world have contributed to the books making the set an essential reference source.
