Polymer Science

This book focuses on food, non-food, and industrial packaging applications of polymers, blends, nanostructured materials, macro, micro and nanocomposites, and renewable and biodegradable materials. It details physical, thermal, and barrier properties as well as sustainability, recycling, and regulat..

An important member of the smart materials family, the shape memory polymer has attracted serious attention as a result of its ability to recover its original shape after having a stimulus applied to them. From their history to the most recent developments, this book provides the full story of polyu..
