Opis

Considers several applications of biotechnology in the field of polymers. The 27 papers are presented in sections covering biotechnology-derived polymers, and systems based on polysaccharides and on proteins and enzymes. A sampling of titles turns up vernonia oil as a new reactive monomer, bacterial
