Title: Polymer Chemistry: From Fundamentals to Bio-based Alternatives
Abstract: A polymer is a substance made of many repeating units, these can be natural, for example cellulose, or human-made, for example plastics. This chapter begins with a discussion of the characterisation of polymers and looks to the various mechanisms of polymerisation reactions. It then goes on to look at the issues around biodegradation of polymers, natural polymer structures and polymers that can be derived from biomass.
