The final version is available through the publisher’s platform.Biopolymers are polymers that are biosynthesized from monomeric building blocks. Although biopolymers have been used for many years by the food, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical industries, they have recently taken on increasing industrial importance often for novel applications.1–4 The heightened interest in these materials has primarily been the result of new biotechnological methods5–7 which have given industry access to large quantities of highly-pure biopolymers of various structures representing both natural and nonnatural products.https://login.libproxy.rpi.edu/login?url=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4757-4597-9_
