Preparation, Processing and Properties of Biopolymers and Biocomposites, part of a Two-Volume set, provides comprehensive information on the latest advances in this important research field. This volume focuses on the preparation, processing, and properties of these materials, providing fundamental principles of processing biopolymers and creating their associated biocomposites are covered in detail. It covers topics such as extraction and purification of biopolymers from natural sources, synthesis of biopolymers through fermentation and bioengineering, and the incorporation of fillers and reinforcements to create biocomposites with unique tailored properties.The volume also explores the characterization techniques used to assess the physical, mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties of these materials. By providing insights into their processing techniques and structure-property relationships, this volume will equip the reader with the knowledge needed to design and engineer these materials for a specific range of applications. As an accompaniment to its sister volume, which focuses on applications of these materials, the two volumes work together to create a comprehensive picture of new developments in biopolymers and biocomposites. - Provides an up-to-date information resource on the preparation, processing, and properties of biopolymers and their associated biocomposites- Covers synthesis, characterization, and modeling- Addresses the circular bioeconomy, technology advancements in microalgae, and sustainability
