Nanocomposites with biodegradable polymers [electronic resource] : synthesis, properties and future perspectives / edited by Vikas Mittal. Mittal, Vikas. Polymers Biodegradation. Nanocomposites (Materials) TA455.P58 620.192 23 Includes bibliographical references and index. Description based on print version record. Polymers are used in practically every facet of daily life. Most polymers come from fossil fuels and are not biodegradable causing long-term environmental hazards. Biodegradable polymers provide an alternative class of materials. Composites of such polymers have high potential within a wide spectrum of applications.
