Synopsis

Biopolymers represent the most abundant organic compounds in the biosphere and constitute the largest fraction of cells. Seven main classes of biopolymers are distinguished according to their chemical structures. This encyclopedia provides a throughout overview of the occurrence and metabolism of biopolymers. In addition, processes for biotechnological production, isolation from organisms and modification, material properties and technical applications in various areas such as, for example, in daily life products, medicine, pharmacy, the food industry, agriculture, textiles, the chemical industry and the packaging industry are provided. Future perspectives of biopolymers are outlined.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Volume 2 treats polyisoprenoids with most aspects devoted to such natural forms as natural rubber and gutta percha and their comparison to synthetic rubbers. Topics included are: structures, occurrence, biosynthesis routes, biochemical polymerization, biological functions, properties, biodegradation of natural rubber, biodegradation of synthetic rubber, biotechnological versus chemical recycling, biotechnological desulfurization.
