Rethinking Polyester Polyurethanes: Algae Based Renewable, Sustainable, Biodegradable and Recyclable Materials delves into the transformative potential of bio-based materials, particularly algae, in revolutionizing the polymer industry. Authored by experts in the field, the book offers a comprehensive exploration of algae, polyurethanes (PUs), and their widespread applications. It provides a foundational understanding of algae biology and chemistry, shedding light on the engineering behind their biodegradable and fully recyclable properties. The book is organized into chapters that cover various aspects, including Re-evaluating the Sources, Redefining the Analytics, Reformulating Polyester Polyurethanes, and The Future. The latter section delves into the landscape of bio-based materials, the eco-consumer, and the critical issue of "greenwashing." This book serves as a valuable resource for industry professionals involved in the supply chain of manufactured products, sales and marketing professionals seeking to grasp the unique advantages of bio-based materials, and researchers engaged in the R&D of biobased polyurethanes or the remediation of microplastics pollution in land and bodies of fresh and saltwater across the globe. By unraveling the secrets of algae-based materials, this book empowers professionals and researchers to drive sustainable innovation and contribute to a greener future.
