Green Chemistry for Surface Coatings, Inks and Adhesives: Sustainable Applications

Many modern surface coatings and
adhesives are derived from fossil feedstocks. With fossil fuels becoming
more polluting and expensive to extract as supplies dwindle, industry
is turning increasingly to nature, mimicking natural solutions using
renewable raw materials and employing new technologies.

Highlighting
sustainable technologies and applications of renewable raw materials
within the framework of green and sustainable chemistry, circular
economy and resource efficiency, this book provides a cradle-to-cradle
perspective. From potential feedstocks to recycling/reuse opportunities
and the de-manufacture of adhesives and solvents, green chemistry
principles are applied to all aspects of surface coating, printing,
adhesive and sealant manufacture.

This book is ideal for
students, researchers and industrialists working in green sustainable
chemistry, industrial coatings, adhesives, inks and printing
technologies.
