tailieunhanh - Biobased Industrial Products Priorities for Research and Commercialization

Petroleum-based industrial products have gradually replaced products derived from biological materials. However, biologically based products are making a comeback--because of a threefold increase in farm productivity and new technologies. Biobased Industrial Products envisions a biobased industrial future, where starch will be used to make biopolymers and vegetable oils will become a routine component in lubricants and detergents. | Biobased Industrial Products Research and Commercialization Priorities http catalog __iobased Industrial Products Priorities for Research and Commercialization Committee on Biobased Industrial Products Board on Biology Commission on Life Sciences National Research Council NATIONAL ACADEMY PRESS Washington .
