This book on biopolymers offers a comprehensive source for biomaterial professionals. It covers all elementary topics related to the properties of biopolymers, the production, and processing of biopolymers, applications of biopolymers, examples of biopolymers, and the future of biopolymers.

Edited by experts in the field, the book highlights international professionals’ longstanding experiences and addresses the requirements of practitioners and newcomers in this field in finding a solution to their problems. The book brings together several natural polymers, their extraction/production, and physio-chemical features. The topics covered in this book are biopolymers from renewable sources, marine prokaryotes, soy protein and humus oils, biopolymer recycling, chemical modifications, and specific properties. The book also focuses on the potential and diverse applications of biogenic and bio-derived polymers. The content includes industrial applications of natural polymeric molecules and applications in key areas such as material, biomedical, sensing, packaging, biomedicine, and biotechnology, and tissue engineering applications are discussed in detail.

The objective of this book is to fill the gap between the researchers working in the laboratory to cutting-edge technological applications in related industries. This book will be a very valuable reference material for graduates and post-graduate students, academic researchers, professionals, research scholars, and scientists, and for anyone who has a flavor for doing biomaterial research. The books are designed to serve as a bridge between undergraduate textbooks in biochemistry and professional literature. The book provides universal perspectives for an emerging field where classical polymer science blends with molecular biology with highlights on recent advances.

Dr. Bejoy Thomas studied chemistry at the University of Bangalore (India) and received his PhD in Physical Chemistry from Cochin University of Science and Technology (India). As a DFG (German Chemical Society) postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Chemical Technology, University of Stuttgart, he moved to Germany after working for a few years in NMR spectroscopy at the NMR Research Centre at the Indian Institute of Science (India) under CSR-SRF. Before returning to India to join Newman College in Thodupuzha- Kerala as Assistant Professor of Chemistry in 2011, Dr. Bejoy first moved to Paris, France as a CNRS postdoctoral associate at the Laboratoire de Chimie de la Mati�re de Condensee de Paris (LCMCP), UPMC-P6- Paris. His research focuses on the self-assembly of biosurfactant molecules, such as long chain fatty acids and their esters, small proteins, polysaccharides, etc. for the development of new materials, the creation of organized mesoporous materials, surface science, catalysis, and hierarchical zeolites, as well as in situ NMR spectroscopy of working catalysts. The extraction, properties, and use of nanocellulosic materials from biomass resources have recently been the subject of the active research, particularly with regard to catalytic applications. Nearly 50 research articles by Dr. Bejoy have been published in high impact journals, including one in Chemical Reviews that has received the highest citations in recent years from authors in India.
