 "This book will cover the development and utilization of polymer films and coatings derived from non-petroleum, renewable resources from an applications perspective rather than being designed in the form of chapters in which individual polymers or polymer types are described. It will also include the topic of sustainability and how it is defined as well as a chapter on new developments in film production or coating technology in relation to existing technology (e.g., nanocomposites, plasma or corona treatment technology and lamination)"--   Provided by publisher.
