About the Book

Applications of Biopolymers and Biocomposites is one of a two-volume set that provides comprehensive information on the latest advances in this important research field. The first volume focuses on the preparation, processing, and properties of these materials and this volume on their diverse range of applications. This volume covers practical applications of biopolymers and biocomposites across various industrial sectors. It showcases how these materials are being used to address environmental challenges and to create new innovative solutions. The volume covers applications in fields such as packaging, where biopolymers offer biodegradability and reduced environmental impact; in the automotive industry, where lightweight and sustainable materials are much sought after; in construction, where biocomposites find use in structural components; and in biomedical fields, where biopolymers are being explored for drug delivery, tissue engineering, and medical devices. By highlighting these real-world applications, the volume facilitates the reader’s understanding on how these materials are contributing to sustainable development and new innovative emerging technologies.

About the Author :
Dr. Mohammad Jawaid is currently affiliated with the Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering at United Arab Emirates University. Previously he was a senior fellow (professor) in the Laboratory of Biocomposites Technology at the Institute of Tropical Forestry and Forest Products (INTROP), Universiti Putra Malaysia. He is an eminent scientist with more than twenty years of teaching, and research experience in composite materials. His research interests include hybrid reinforced/filled polymer composites, and advanced materials such as graphene/ nanoclay/fire retardant, lignocellulosic reinforced/filled polymer composites, and the modification and treatment of lignocellulosic fibres and solid wood, and nanocomposites and nanocellulose fibres. Dr. Ramzi Khiari is a senior lecturer in the Department of Textile Engineering at the Higher Institute of Technological Studies in Ksar-Hellal (Monastir, Tunisia). He graduated with a master’s degree in Textile Engineering from the National Engineering School of Monastir, in 2007 and then went on to complete his Ph.D. in 2010 from the University of Monastir and Grenoble INP in France. In 2017, he was awarded the diploma of "Habilitation Universitaire" from the University of Monastir, and then in 2020 he received the diploma "Habilitation à diriger des Recherches" from Grenoble INP. His research interests focus on the valorization of biomass at multi-scale levels, namely: fibers, nanocellulose, lignin, hemicelluloses, and their use as potential raw materials in several industrial applications (Textile, papermaking, polymeric materials, composites, and nanocomposites). He is currently an aerospace researcher in the Department of Aerospace Engineering, Faculty of Engineering. Universiti Putra Malaysia. He has good number of publications and research grants in his favour. His research focus on insect inspired miniaturized robots for planetary studies, advanced aerospace materials (bio, natural or Nano) at all the scales, CFD, high performance computing and modelling, unsteady aerodynamics, space debris removal and space systems engineering. Abu-Jdayil Basim has completed his PhD in 1996 from Erlangen-Nurnberg University, Germany. He is currently Professor of Chemical Engineering in the Chemical & Petroleum Engineering Department, at the United Arab Emirates University (UAEU). His research specialization is in the areas of rheology and composite materials. His research has resulted in the publication of several journal papers, and presentations at local and international conferences. Dr. Abu-Jdayil has worked as a consultant for different companies in the Middle East, and he has conducted many short courses in the training centers of SABIC, GASCO, Emirates Steel Industries, and EMARAT.
