More specifically, BCC Research sees global biopolymer demand at about 206 million lb/ yr in 2005, comprising 95 million lb for compost bags, 55 million lb for loose-fill "peanuts," 28 million lb for packaging film and sheet, and 28 million lb for miscellaneous uses. The research group used a soluble biopolymer material with a bar-like helix structure to create a ferroelectric thin film by changing inter-molecular interactions by controlling the molecular weight and molecular structure of the biopolymer. Ragauskas, with almost 20 years of experience in oxidative bleaching chemistry, carbohydrate, fiber/lignin/cellulose chemistry and nanobiotechnology, is currently pursuing research in the areas of biopolymers and pulp and paper science. |
