Characterization Techniques for Bionanocomposites: Advances, Challenges, and Applications provides a detailed review of current techniques used for the characterization of bionanocomposites. The chapters cover physical, chemical, thermal, and electrical characterization techniques as well as spectroscopic and microscopic methods. There is also an entire section dedicated to biodegradability and biological characterization. With its numerous case studies and practical examples, researchers will find this book a valuable information resource that enables them to identify which specialized characterization tools can be applied to different materials for a broad range of biological, environmental, and industrial applications.
