In order to develop green polymers, it is essential to understand that nature constructs a variety of materials that can be used. Plant materials such as cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin are the largest organic resources.  Thermal Properties of Green Polymers and Biocomposites is unique in that it introduces thermal analysis applicable to green polymers and provides fundamental thermal properties of cellulose, polysaccharides and lignin. The book includes over 370 figures concerning thermal properties of green polymers with detailed experimental conditions. It also introduces newly patented environmentally compatible green polymers. Thermal properties provided include: thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermomechanometry (TMA) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA).  This book covers two domains:  -Fundamentals of thermal properties of cellulose, polysaccharides and lignin (Chapters 3 to 5);    -Developments of new biocompatible polymers derived from plant materials (Chapters 6 to 8).   This book is aimed at advanced users and specialists who are interested in green polymers and who utilize thermal analyses for the above polymers, especially in research laboratories, both academic and industrial.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52480827195665,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52480828309777,"sku":"NLS9781402019074","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781402019074.jpg?v=1759850814"},{"product_id":"who-is-who-in-thermal-analysis-and-calorimetry-book-gyrgy-liptay-9783319378169","title":"Who is Who in Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry","description":"This is an expanded and revised second edition,  presenting accurate and comprehensive information about our leading thermal scientists to current and future generations.

Thermal Analysis of Micro-, Nano- and Non-Crystalline Materials: Transformation, Crystallization, Kinetics, and Thermodynamics is a valuable resource to advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, and researches working in the application fields of material thermodynamics, thermal analysis, thermophysical measurements, and calorimetry.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52656952574225,"sku":"NLS9789048131495","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53558415032593,"sku":"NIN9789048131495","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789048131495.jpg?v=1762226533"},{"product_id":"thermal-properties-of-green-polymers-and-biocomposites-book-tatsuko-hatakeyama-9789048165421","title":"Thermal Properties of Green Polymers and Biocomposites","description":"Environmentally compatible polymers (green polymers) are the key to sustainable developments for our rich and convenient life. In order to develop green polymers, it is essential to understand that nature constructs a variety of materials that can be used. Plant materials such as cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin are the largest organic resources.  Thermal Properties of Green Polymers and Biocomposites is unique in that it introduces thermal analysis applicable to green polymers and provides fundamental thermal properties of cellulose, polysaccharides and lignin. The book includes over 370 figures concerning thermal properties of green polymers with detailed experimental conditions. It also introduces newly patented environmentally compatible green polymers. Thermal properties provided include: thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermomechanometry (TMA) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA).  This book covers two domains:  -Fundamentals of thermal properties of cellulose, polysaccharides and lignin (Chapters 3 to 5);    -Developments of new biocompatible polymers derived from plant materials (Chapters 6 to 8).   This book is aimed at advanced users and specialists who are interested in green polymers and who utilize thermal analyses for the above polymers, especially in research laboratories, both academic and industrial.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52660182876433,"sku":"NLS9789048165421","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789048165421.jpg?v=1762264675"},{"product_id":"modulated-temperature-differential-scanning-calorimetry-book-mike-reading-9789048169528","title":"Modulated Temperature Differential Scanning Calorimetry","description":"MTDSC provides a step-change increase in the power of calorimetry to characterize virtually all polymer systems including curing systems, blends and semicrystalline polymers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52662456713489,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52662457434385,"sku":"NLS9789048169528","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789048169528.jpg?v=1762269546"},{"product_id":"nature-of-biological-systems-as-revealed-by-thermal-methods-book-dnes-lrinczy-9781402022180","title":"The Nature of Biological Systems as Revealed by Thermal Methods","description":"Af ter a kind mo ti va tion by Judit Si mon (Ed i tor-in-Chief of the Jour nal of Ther mal Anal y s is and Cal o ri m e t r y , Kluwe r Ac a dem ic Pub lis her) and ne go ti a tions with po- si ble con tri bu tors - lasting for m ore than one year - it was de cided to write a book about the ap pli ca tion of ther mal meth ods in bi ol ogy.
