Biopolymers and Bioplastics

Manufacturing of Advanced Polymers

Petroleum resources provide the raw materials to form polymer compounds have low production cost due to the abundance of feedstock, combined with the ingenuity of chemical engineers who devise various efficient manufacture techniques. Therefore, polymers are manufactured in abundance with various classifications. New manufacturing processes for more advanced polymers, polymer composites, nanoclays, polymers for photovoltaics and other advanced polymers are made more efficient for industrial production.
