Sustainable Fillers/Plasticizers for Polymer Composites: Promising Resources presents a comprehensive review of the application and use of biofillers and bioplasticizers for the fabrication of biopolymer-based composites.This book looks first at the historical aspects and then goes on to discuss current trends and recent developments. Emphasis is placed on the future potential of these resources to expand their usage in a broad range of different applications. This book will be a valuable reference resource for both academic and industrial researchers working in materials science, polymer chemistry and engineering, and the manufacturing of polymer composite materials.

Covers recent developments in eco-friendly biofillers/ bioplasticizers and biopolymer-based compositesExplains the life cycle assessment of filler-based composites, the recycling process and utilization of industrial waste-based fillers, and other socioeconomic aspectsProvides a review of the processing techniques for filler-based composites and their effect on the properties of polymer compositesDiscusses the market scenario and future challenges and opportunities for these materials
