Formation of Biopolymer Fibers: Use of Blends, Additives and Carbonization to Enhance Value

This thesis is devoted to the study of methods to produce nonwovens from biowaste, biopolymers and/or biocompatible materials and characterization of the new materials formed. It also investigates different approaches in which the nonwovens can be applied as a specialty. The thesis also describes the efforts to develop experimental and theoretical methods relevant to the subject.
