Advances in Bionanocomposites: Materials, Applications, and Life Cycle brings together the latest research in bio-based nanocomposites, with a strong emphasis on improved sustainability in terms of preparation, lifecycle and end applications. The book begins by introducing biopolymers, bionanocomposites and the latest methods for their synthesis, processing and characterization. Other sections focus on specific bio-based materials, including bionanocomposites based on polylactic acid, poly(vinyl alcohol), chitosan, starch, cellulose, and protein. A range of advanced applications are then introduced across 3D printing, high entropy alloys, wastewater remediation, agriculture, biomedicine, solar cells, electrochemical sensors, and packaging.

Throughout the book, opportunities for improved sustainability are analyzed and highlighted. The final section brings this together with in-depth coverage of biodegradation, lifecycle, environmental impact, circular economy, economic considerations and future opportunities in bionanocomposites. This is a valuable resource for researchers, advanced students, R&D professionals, and industrial scientists from a range of disciplines.

This book comprises select proceedings of the International Conference on Futuristic Trends in Materials and Manufacturing (ICFTMM 2018). The book includes latest research on conventional materials, advanced metals and alloys, polymeric materials and composites. In addition to the characterization of different advanced materials, the book also discusses their applications in various fields such as marine, automotive, aerospace, sporting equipment, and infrastructure. The book offers an insight into the manufacturing of cost-effective and high performance materials products. The contents of this book will be useful for students, academicians, and researchers working in the field of materials science and engineering.
