فناوری بیوپلیمرهای کاربردی و بیوپلاستیک‌ها: توسعه پایدار با مواد مهندسی سبز

is a recipient of a prestigious DST Young Scientist Postdoctoral Fellowship and is presently a researcher in the Materials Science Division, CSIR -National Aerospace Laboratories, Bangalore, India. She received her PhD in chemistry from Jamia Millia Islamia (A Central University), India. Her main interests include nanotechnologynanostructured materials synthesis and characterization, her main focus comprising green chemistry, novel sustainable chemical processing of nano-conducting polymers/nanocomposites, conducting films, ceramics, silicones, and matrices: epoxies, alkyds, polyurethanes, etc. She also pursues her interest in using 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 journals of high repute. Her contributions have led to many chapters in international books published with the Royal Society of Chemistry, Wiley, Elsevier, Apple Academic Press, Nova U.S., and 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. "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."-- Provided by publisher
