| Sammanfattning: | This book provides a comprehensive overview of the development, characterization, processing, and application of biomaterials and bioplastics as sustainable alternatives to conventional materials derived from fossil sources. Throughout its chapters, it presents the scientific fundamentals of biopolymers, their sources—ranging from lignocellulosic materials to agro-industrial waste—and the main routes of synthesis and transformation. Throughout the book, analytical and characterization techniques are integrated as essential tools for understanding the behavior of these materials, including spectroscopic, thermal, mechanical, and structural methods that allow for the evaluation of their composition, properties, and performance. This approach not only enables the validation of the developed materials but also the optimization of their production and application processes. The text delves into the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of biomaterials, as well as their behavior in terms of biodegradation, stability, and functionality, drawing comparisons with traditional petrochemical polymers. It also explores the fundamentals and applications of advanced separation processes, highlighting sustainable purification and
recovery technologies, with an emphasis on energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact. The book also examines the current technical, economic, and social challenges facing the sector, while highlighting the opportunities they represent for regions such as Latin America and Ecuador, where the availability of natural resources and biomass opens up new possibilities for innovation. Finally, the book presents future prospects for the field, including the development of new sources of biopolymers, energy-efficient technologies, and the transition toward a more sustainable chemical industry. Taken together, the work offers a comprehensive vision that combines scientific fundamentals, analytical tools, and applied approaches, inviting reflection on the role of biomaterials in building more sustainable production systems |
