With the rapid advancements in polymer research, polymers are finding newer applications such as scaffolds for tissue engineering, wound healing, flexible displays, and energy devices. In the same spirit, this book covers the key features of recent advancements in polymeric materials and their specialty applications. Divided into two sections – Polymeric Biomaterials and Polymers from Sustainable Resources, and Polymers for Energy and Specialty Applications – this book covers biopolymers, polymer-based biomaterials, polymer-based nanohybrids, polymer nanocomposites, polymer-supported regenerative medicines, and advanced polymer device fabrication techniques. FEATURES Provides a comprehen...
This book covers recent advancements in the field of polymer science and technology. Frontiers areas, such as polymers based on bio-sources, polymer based ferroelectrics, polymer nanocomposites for capacitors, food packaging and electronic packaging, piezoelectric sensors, polymers from renewable resources, superhydrophobic materials and electrospinning are topics of discussion. The contributors to this book are expert researchers from various academic institutes and industries from around the world.
From weather-proof tires and artificial hearts to the o-rings and valve seals that enable successful space exploration, rubber is an indispensable component of modern civilization. Stiff competition and stringent application requirements foster continuous challenges requiring manufacturers to fund ever-expanding research projects. However, this vas
Sustainable practices within the mining and energy sectors are assuming greater significance due to uncertainty and change within the global economy and safety, security, and health concerns. This book examines sustainability issues facing the mining and energy sectors by addressing six major themes: Mining and Mineral Processing; Metallurgy and Recycling; Environment; Energy; Socioeconomic and Regulatory; and Sustainable Materials and Fleets. Emphasizing an integrated transdisciplinary approach, it deliberates on optimizing mining productivity and energy efficiency and discusses integrated waste management practices. It discusses risk management, cost cutting, and integration of sustainable...
“Those curves are killing! Can I see ‘them’?” Manish inquires a woman, blatantly with no embarrassment! “Those curves make your eyes outstanding!” Meet Manish, a makeup artist from the land of fashion, France. “James, wake up! Look, there’s police outside!” whispered Trilok. James jumped out of his sleep, awestruck! “Happy New Year, James! No police! Just to keep you awake!” chuckled Trilok. He then urged, “Get up now! Look there. Watch out closely! Do you see someone locked up in the outhouse?” “No, it’s dark, and the door is locked. How do I see?” “Come on! You should believe it if you can’t see!” remarked Trilok, the intuitionist. Never can one grasp what he means! In the middle of nowhere, two ‘incompatible’ men, Manish and Trilok—one who works on faces and one who works on minds—happen to stumble upon the mysteries at the ‘Five Finger Valley’. Will their polar world views attract or repel? Wait till The Mystery Repeats!
The green revolution led to the development of improved varieties of crops, especially cereals, and since then, classical or molecular breeding has resulted in the creation of economically valuable species. Thanks to recent developments in genetic engineering, it has become possible to introduce genes from different sources, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, mice and humans, to plants. This technology has made the scientific community aware of the critical role of transgenics, not only as a means of producing stress tolerant crops but also as a platform for the production of therapeutics through molecular farming. This book discusses the commercial applications of plant transgenic technologi...

The topics covered include non-conventional energy resources, energy harvesting, polymers, composites, 2D materials, systems engineering, materials engineering, micro-machining, renewable energy, industrial engineering and additive manufacturing. This book will be useful to researchers and professionals working in the areas of mechanical and industrial engineering, materials applications, and energy technology.
Dyslipidemia, and particularly hypercholesterolemia, remains a main cardiovascular disease risk factor, partly reversible with the improvement of life-style, including dietary, habits. Even when a pharmacological treatment is begun, dietary support to lipid-lowering is always desired. This book will provide a selection of new evidence on the possible lipid-lowering effects of some dietary and medicinal plant components, reporting some interesting reviews, experimental data and results from clinical trials. The book is adapted for experts in nutrition but also for all scientists involved in cardiovascular disease prevention.
The Print Edition was released by MJF Lion R Mouraly.
