Biopolymers from Natural Resources

<p>This work covers all aspects related to the obtainment production design and processing of biopolymers obtained from natural resources. Moreover it studies characteristics related to the improvement of their performance to increase their potential application at an industrial level in line with the concept of a global circular economy. Thus this work firstly classifies biopolymers obtained from natural resources (e.g. biobased building blocks and biopolymers extracted directly from plants and biomass) and then summarizes several cutting-edge research works focused on enhancing the performance of biopolymers from natural resources to extend their application in the industrial sector and contribute to the transition to more sustainable plastics.</p>
