Protein-Based Biopolymers 1st Edition

Protein-Based Biopolymers, 1st Edition by Susheel Kalia; Swati Sharma offers a contemporary, application-focused exploration of protein-derived materials that are reshaping biotechnology, biomedical engineering, and sustainable materials science. This authoritative volume captures the latest advances in extraction, processing, functionalization, and performance evaluation of protein-based biopolymers — essential reading for researchers and professionals seeking practical insight and scientific depth.

Begin with a clear overview of core proteins (collagen, keratin, silk, soy, whey) and their chemistry, then move into scalable fabrication techniques, structure–property relationships, and cutting-edge modification strategies that tailor mechanical strength, biodegradability, and bioactivity. Case studies and real-world applications highlight uses in drug delivery, tissue scaffolding, wound care, packaging, and eco-friendly composites, linking laboratory innovation to industry deployment across global markets.

Readers will benefit from rigorous yet accessible discussions of characterization methods, regulatory considerations, and sustainability metrics that matter to academic investigators, product developers, and regulatory scientists alike. The authors’ balanced perspective makes complex concepts approachable, while the technical detail supports advanced research and product design.

Perfect for graduate students, R&D engineers, and sustainability-focused professionals in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and materials engineering, this edition equips you with the tools to evaluate and implement protein-based solutions in diverse regional contexts — from Asia’s manufacturing hubs to Europe and North America’s research centers.

Add Protein-Based Biopolymers to your library to stay at the forefront of biomaterials innovation: a practical, well-crafted resource that connects science to real-world application and commercial potential.
