Advances in Manufacturing and Characterization of Functional Polyesters

In recent years we have assisted the remarkable growth in the use of functional polyesters. This book gathers novel research works dealing with the manufacturing and characterization of polyesters that have been functionalized by synthesis copolymerization additives (at micro- and nanoscale) surface modification among other methodologies to tailor desired properties in terms of mechanical chemical thermal and barrier properties biodegradation and biocompatibility. Thus Advances in Manufacturing and Characterization of Functional Polyesters will serve to guide a diverse audience of polymer scientists and engineers and provides an update of the state-of-the-art knowledge on functional polyesters.
