   Weinheim ; Chichester : Wiley-VCH, c2001-

   This is the second volume of "Biopolymers".The final volume of this encyclopedia addresses such general aspects as methods for the analysis of polymer properties and technical processing. It also provides an overview of special applications in: electronics, aerospace, medicine and pharmacy, food packaging, and, construction engineering. Further topics included are: biotechnological production of monomers for chemical polymer synthesis, conversion of raw materials, corrosion, composting, environmental impacts, health issues, legal, ecological and economic aspects.The first part of this volume focuses on biosynthesis, metabolism, biodegradation, functions, properties and applications of miscellaneous polymers, such as hemozoin, thymine - containing styrene polymers, polythioesters, polyphosphate, polyhydroxymethionine, polyketides, and natural polyacetals. The second part then goes on to treat the biodegradation of a wide range of synthetic polymers, e.g. substituted cellulose nylon polycarbonate polyvinyl alcohol polyurethanes polystyrenes polyethylene polyanhydrides.This book's volumes 7 and 8 focus on polyamides and complex proteinaceous materials synthesized by bacteria and eukaryotic organisms, describing all aspects of their biosynthesis and metabolism as well as the production and isolation. The topics included are: poly(g-d-glutamate), cyanophycin, modifications of proteins, sweet-tasting proteins, motor proteins, enzymes for technical applications, self-assembling proteins, cell membranes, feathers, elastic proteins, silk proteins, adhesive proteins, protein composites, wool, collagens and gelatines.This encyclopedia provides a thorough overview of the occurrence and metabolism of biopolymers. In addition, it treats processes for biotechnological production, isolation from organisms and modification, material properties and technical applications in areas such as: medicine, pharmacy, agriculture, textiles, the food, chemical and packaging industries and even outlines the future prospects for biopolymers. The cumulative index provides easy and timesaving access to the comprehensive content of all 10 volumes of the "Biopolymers" encyclopedia.This multi-volume handbook, ultimately comprising ten volumes plus a cumulative index published over the next three years, provides a thorough overview of the occurrence and metabolism of biopolymers. It includes the processes in which biopolymers are biotechnologically produced or isolated from organisms, and examines the materials properties of biopolymers as well as their technical applications in various areas such as daily live products, medicine, pharmacy, food industry, and agriculture.Volumes 3a, b and 4 focus on polyesters synthesized by bacteria and eukaryotic organisms as well as all aspects of the biosynthesis and metabolism of these biopolymers together with their production and isolation. In addition, these volumes treat various synthetic polyesters and related polymers synthesized by the chemical industry for the manufacture of biodegradable materials. Topics include: polyhydroxyalkanoates, pha granules, non-storage phas, poly(malic acid), cutin, suberin, polyphosphate, polylactides, polyglycolide, polyanhydrides, polyesteramides, aliphatic organic polyesters and related polymers, in vitro synthesis of polyesters, chemical synthesis, biotechnological production by fermentation, isolation from plants, production in transgenic plants, biodegradation.Volumes 5 and 6 focus on simple and complex polysaccharides synthesized by organisms as storage compounds, cell wall constituents or compounds at the surfaces of cells. They describe biosynthesis, metabolism, biodegradation, functions, properties and applications of these biopolymers, covering such topics as: agar, alginates, alternan, carrageenan, cellulose, cell wall polysaccharides from fungi, fucogel, chitin, chitosan, curdlan, dextran, elsinan, emulsan, gellan, glycogen, glycolipids, glycopeptides, gums, hemicellulose, hyaluronan, inulin, levan, lipopolysaccharides and other eps, peptidoglycans from archaea and bacteria, pectin, pullulan, schizophyllan, scleroglucan, succinoglycan, starch, teichoic acids, teichuronic acids, xanthan.This encyclopedia - comprising 10 volumes plus cumulative index - provides a thorough overview of the occurrence and metabolism of biopolymers. In addition, it treats processes for biotechnological production, isolation from organisms and modification, material properties and technical applications in areas such as: Medicine Pharmacy Agriculture Textiles The Food, chemical and packaging industries and even outlines the future prospects for biopolymers.
