Abstract

There is an increasing awareness among the general public of the importance of the intelligent use of earth’s biological resources for the production of chemicals, materials and precursors, resulting in an economy that is turning towards considering the valuable contributions offered by these resources. To face the present challenges of reducing the use of nonrenewable resources and the negative impact of polymer pollution on the environment, the world’s scientists are making their contribution by unraveling biological structures and studying and developing new materials and applications from biomass resources.
