Nílim ábalta é a cháin mar bhí sé turgnamh le mo droch-Gaeilge. Ach bhí na scéalta go h-áileann, agus freisin ró-suimiúil ar stair na h-Éireann agus stair an tír. Leabhair tábhachtac ó cáipéisi ba a é. Peig certainly knows how to spin a good yard. I enjoyed the stories and the heartfelt sentiments about struggle and celebration on Blasket Island and Dingle. The writing style was easy to follow and even some of the unknown word meanings could be gleaned from the context. I felt so sad for all of her losses, which I attributed somewhat to the time and lack of proper medical care and facilities in remote areas. The atmosphere was clear and I was transported to an Ireland I couldn't really see when I was there. no reviews | add a review
In recent years, much attention has been focused on biodegradable polymers from renewable resources. Due to its availability and low cost, starch is a promising candidate among biopolymers for use in biodegradable packaging materials and for other purposes. Starch-Based Polymeric Materials and Nanocomposites: Chemistry, Processing, and Applications presents the latest developments in starch chemistry, rheology, starch derivatives, starch-based nanocomposites, and their applications. Topics discussed include: The chemistry, microstructure, processing, and enzymatic degradation of starch The importance and role of starch as a gelling agent Plasticization and the role of plasticizers Various rheological techniques applied to starch-related products and the characteristics of starch dispersions Polymeric aspects of reactive extrusion (REX) and its use on starch and other biopolymers Cyclodextrins (CDs) and their industrial applications, and CD-based supramole and polymers The potential of starch in food packaging, edible packaging, feedstock for bioproducts, and industrial and consumer products The theoretical basis and derivation of the mathematical model for multicomponent systems and its solution algorithm The book also explores recent progress in biodegradable starch-based hybrids and nanomaterials and the incorporation of nanoparticles in starches to enhance their mechanical and thermal properties. The book concludes by discussing the use of biopolymeric nanoparticles (BNPs) in drug delivery and life cycle assessment (LCA) of starch-based polymeric materials for packaging and allied applications. With contributions from leading experts in academia and industry, this volume demonstrates the versatility of starch and its potential in a variety of applications. No library descriptions found. |
