Introduction to biopolymers and biotech admixtures for eco-efficient construction materials

This chapter introduces important problems related to crude oil, the main feedstock of most polymer-based materials. These problems include interstate wars and environmental disasters. The latter is the most worrisome, such as the recent Deep Water Horizon oil spill that released approximately 780 ...
