Handbook of Chitin and Chitosan Volume 1: Preparation and Properties
Coordonnateurs : Thomas Sabu, Pius Anitha, Gopi Sreerag
The Handbook of Chitin and Chitosan: Preparation and Properties, Volume One, is a must-read for polymer chemists, physicists and engineers interested in the development of ecofriendly micro and nanostructured functional materials based on chitin and their various applications. The book addresses the entirety of working with these materials, from their isolation, preparation and properties, through composites, nanomaterials, manufacturing and characterizations. This is the first of three volumes in a series that contains the latest on the major applications of chitin and chitosan based IPN?s, blends, gels, composites and nanocomposites, including environmental remediation, biomedical applications and smart material applications.
