About this book

This book effectively links the latest scientific advances to current technological applications of polymers, mainly focusing on biodegradable polymers obtained from biomass. The individual chapters were written by academic and industry researchers alike, introducing readers to topics that have received little attention in the literature to date. Key topics covered include polymers used in various areas such as food packaging, pharmaceuticals, energy production and the cosmetics industry, as well as the treatment of aqueous effluents. 

Reviews

“Goyanes and D’Accorso (both, Univ. of Buenos Aires, Argentina), along with a cohort of academic and industry research contributors, explore an emerging topic that is broadly compelling: biomass as a renewable, biodegradable source of products for industrial applications. … Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty, and professionals.” (L. W. Fine, Choice, Vol. 55 (10), June 2018)

About the editors

1. Prof. Dr. Silvia Goyanes: After getting her PhD in Physics at the University of  Buenos Aires (UBA), Argentina, she had a postdoctoral stay at the University of the Basque Country, Spain, under the supervision of Professor Iñaki Mondragon. Since 2005, Silvia has held the position of Professor of Experimental Physics at the Physics Department of the School of Natural and Exact Sciences – UBA and is also head of the Nanomaterials Group. She is also Senior Researcher of the National Research Council (CONICET) and external advisor for YPF-Technology. She specializes in nanostructures and polymer nanocomposite, focusing on the development of biopolymers and biodegradable packaging materials, especially biopolymer-based nanocomposites, packaging materials and active packaging systems. She has published over 90 international peer-reviewed journal articles, 8 international book chapters and is also the inventor of 7 patents (3 PCT and 2 registered in USA). She was granted with the Ibero-American Award for Innovation and Entrepreneurship from the SEGIB (2010) and with the Special Mention of the L’Oreal-CONICET Award for Women in Science (2012).
