Bio-polymerized Sulfur for Sustainable Practice in Applied Sciences and Engineering examines new opportunities in Sustainable Chemistry by using renewable resources and sulfur as a building block for manufacturing sustainable functional materials that can be used in applied sciences and engineering practice. It also discusses bio-polymeric materials that are made from sulfur and renewable resources. This book also outlines life cycle assessment studies, the sustainability of circular economy, sulfur, bio-polymeric materials, and bio-polymerized sulfur. Bio-polymerized Sulfur for Sustainable Practice in Applied Sciences and Engineering enables new options in using polymerized sulfur in the development of engineered products and to further sustainability.
