- Title
Overview of Biobased Polymers.
- Authors
Piorkowska, Ewa
- Abstract
Awareness of the environmental issues results in increasing attention paid to biobased polymers as their development and commercialization can help to limit exploitation of fossil resources and global warming. The article presents an overview of biobased polymers comprising most abundant natural polymers, bio-engineered polymers, and polymers synthesized fully or partially from biobased substrates, including analogs of petrochemical resins. The structure, important properties, synthesis, and applications are addressed.
