Descrição
This chapter is devoted to the analysis of the main polymerization techniques used to transform monomers derived from plant biomass into polymers. Some of these polymers,or close related macromolecules,are naturally synthesized(e.g.by bacteria) and also produced via biotechnological processes (e.g. the polyhydrox-yalkanoate P(3HP)). The goal of the analysis here presented is the description of chemical synthesis routes eventually leading to a more widespread use of these biobased and renewable polymers. Lower production prices, opportunities for functional/structural tailoring, and production scalability are potential benefits of this approach compared to the biotechnological route (when available). Given their huge volumes, environmental and economic importance as well as Worldwide expression, the exploitation of olive-tree/-oilby-products and winemak-Ing waste streams to generate biopolymers comprises two sections of this work.
