This book reveals how polymer blending and grafting now offer a growing
range of new applications for advanced films and fibers. Further, it
details how the processing and original physical properties of
cellulosics can be improved, and demonstrates how new, cellulose-core
polymeric materials offer a wide range of synergistic functionalities.
Lastly, it summarizes basic characterization studies and successful
fabrications of advanced films and fibers. The book is primarily
intended for advanced undergraduates, academic and industrial
researchers and professionals studying or using bio-based polymers.
