Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The growing concerns over environmental sustainability and the need for greener industrial practices have prompted the exploration of green chemistry principles in the synthesis of sustainable polymers for various industrial applications. This thesis aims to investigate the application of green chemistry principles in the development of sustainable polymers that are not only environmentally friendly but also possess desirable properties for industrial use. The research involves a comprehensive review of existing literature on green chemistry, sustainable polymers, and industrial applications to provide a solid theoretical foundation for the study. Chapter One provides an introduction to the research topic, including the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definition of key terms. Chapter Two presents a detailed literature review covering ten key areas related to green chemistry principles, sustainable polymers, and their applications in various industries. The literature review aims to identify gaps in existing knowledge and provide a basis for the research methodology. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology, including the research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, data analysis procedures, and ethical considerations. The chapter also discusses the selection criteria for sustainable polymer synthesis techniques and the evaluation of their environmental impact. Additionally, the chapter elaborates on the experimental procedures and analytical techniques employed in the research. Chapter Four presents a comprehensive discussion of the research findings, including the synthesis of sustainable polymers using green chemistry principles, characterization of the polymers, evaluation of their properties, and assessment of their suitability for industrial applications. The chapter also discusses the environmental implications of the developed polymers and compares them with traditional polymer synthesis methods. Finally, Chapter Five offers a conclusion and summary of the thesis, highlighting the key findings, implications for industrial applications, contributions to the field of green chemistry, and recommendations for future research. The thesis concludes that the exploration of green chemistry principles in the synthesis of sustainable polymers holds great potential for addressing environmental concerns and promoting sustainable industrial practices. The research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on green chemistry and sustainable materials, offering insights for the development of eco-friendly polymers for diverse industrial applications.
