Bioplastics is one of those areas that the home inventor has the advantage. The raw materials are cheap, readily available and easy to work with. There has been relatively little study done so far as the field is still quite new and there are a significant amount of discoveries to be made.What you have to realise here is that you are not attempting to synthesise polymers from monomers or synthesis new monomers. What you are trying to do is source and extract existing polymers from b...

This collection of essays reveals a carefully organized and convincing explanation by Albrecht about the interconnection between soil, plants and animals – that everything is related to everything else.
