Next-Generation Biopolymers: Advanced Functionality and Improved Sustainability
Next-generation biopolymers: Advanced functionality and improved sustainability. This issue of MRS Bulletin highlights current research that is pushing bio-based polymers (bioplastics) to the next level of performance. The science of industrial ecology enables a better understanding of the environmental effects of bioplastics. The cover shows scanning electron micrographs of starch foam spheres. The microspheres range from 1–10 μm in diameter and consist of a matrix of pores in the nanometer size range.
