Book Description

The recent explosion of interdisciplinary research has fragmented the knowledge base surrounding renewable polymers. The Chemistry of Bio-based Polymers, 2nd edition brings together, in one volume, the research and work of Professor Johannes Fink, focusing on biopolymers that can be synthesized from renewable polymers. After introducing general aspects of the field, the book's subsequent chapters examine the chemistry of biodegradable polymeric types sorted by their chemical compounds, including the synthesis of low molecular compounds. Various categories of biopolymers are detailed including vinyl-based polymers, acid and lactone polymers, ester and amide polymers, carbohydrate-related polymers and others. Procedures for the preparation of biopolymers and biodegradable nanocomposites are arranged by chemical methods and in vitro biological methods, with discussion of the issue of "plastics from bacteria." The factors influencing the degradation and biodegradation of polymers used in food packaging, exposed to various environments, are detailed at length. The book covers the medical applications of bio-based polymers, concentrating on controlled drug delivery, temporary prostheses, and scaffolds for tissue engineering. Professor Fink also addresses renewable resources for fabricating biofuels and argues for localized biorefineries, as biomass feedstocks are more efficiently handled locally.

Book Description

"The focus of this book is on centrioles -- small organelles adjacent to the nucleus in all human and animal (eucaryotic) cells. It provides the findings and critical analyses of over 750 articles written in this century. In addition to centrioles, the topics include: centrosomes, chromosomes, microtubules and kinetochores, cell division and duplication, and tumor development. The book also includes discussions on centriole dynamics and electromagnetics effects. It concludes with a chapter on centriole errors -- particularly cells with supernumerary centrioles. The book is intended for students, scholars, and researchers studying and working in the field of nuclear mechanics. In addition to the book content, it provides a guide for literature investigation"--Publisher's website
