Agro-Waste Derived Biopolymers and Biocomposites 1st Edition

Agro-Waste Derived Biopolymers and Biocomposites 1st Edition by Santosh Kumar, Avik Mukherjee, Vimal Katiyar

Discover a practical, research-driven guide to turning agricultural residues into high-value, sustainable materials. This authoritative volume synthesizes contemporary science and real-world applications of agro-waste derived biopolymers and biocomposites, making it essential for researchers, product developers, and industry professionals focused on sustainable materials and circular economy solutions.

Start with clear explanations of feedstock selection, extraction methods, and chemical modification techniques that transform crop residues into functional bio-based polymers. Progress through chapters on processing technologies, composite fabrication, characterization, and performance optimization—backed by case studies and comparative analyses that bridge lab-scale research with industrial practice. Readers will find detailed discussion of properties, biodegradability, life-cycle considerations, and design criteria for applications across packaging, automotive components, construction materials, agriculture, and emerging biomedical uses.

The text emphasizes practical sustainability: waste valorization strategies, cost-performance trade-offs, and pathways for scaling innovations in regional markets—from India and South Asia to Europe and North America. Clear visuals and methodical organization make complex concepts accessible to postgraduate students, R&D teams, policy makers, and entrepreneurs seeking eco-friendly alternatives to fossil-based plastics.

Why this book matters: it equips you to innovate responsibly, reduce environmental impact, and navigate market and regulatory trends driving bio-based material adoption globally. Whether you’re developing next-generation biocomposites or formulating sustainable supply chains, this edition is a go-to reference.
