Most polymers come from fossil fuels and are not biodegradable causing long-term environmental hazards. Biodegradable polymers provide an alternative class of materials. Composites of such polymers have high potential within a wide spectrum of applications UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199581924.001.0001 ER -
