Green Chemistry for Surface Coatings, Inks and Adhesives
Many modern surface coatings and adhesives are derived from fossil feedstocks. With fossil fuels becoming more polluting and expensive to extract as supplies dwindle, industry is turning increasingly to nature, mimicking natural solutions using renewable raw materials and employing new technologies. Highlighting sustainable technologies and applications of renewable raw materials within the framework of green and sustainable chemistry, circular economy and resource efficiency, this book provides a cradle-to-cradle perspective. From potential feedstocks to recycling/reuse opportunities and the de-manufacture of adhesives and solvents, green chemistry principles are applied to all aspects of surface coating, printing, adhesive and sealant manufacture. This book is ideal for students, researchers and industrialists working in green sustainable chemistry, industrial coatings, adhesives, inks and printing technologies.
Chemistry and Nutritional Effects of Capsicum
The Capsicum genus comprises the botanic species known as chili peppers, the most widely consumed natural product by humankind. Their usage is diverse and varies from food additives to defensive devices and medicines. Providing a comprehensive overview of the great popularization and socioeconomic importance of Capsicum, this book includes a holistic description of the properties of Capsicum and how this correlates with the chemical profile. Several of their specialized metabolites, such as capsaicinoids and carotenoids, are in fact responsible for peppers characterization as a functional food as they provide pungency, deterrent properties and outstanding biological activities such as antiox...
Element Recovery and Sustainability
Increased consumption of electronic equipment has brought with it a greater demand for rare earth elements and metals. Adding to this is the growth in low carbon technologies such as hybrid fuel vehicles. It is predicted that the global supply of rare earth elements could soon be exhausted. A sustainable approach to the use and recovery of rare earth elements is needed, and this book addresses the political, economic and research agendas concerning them. The problem is discussed thoroughly and a multi-disciplinary team of authors from the chemistry, engineering and biotechnology sectors presents a range of solutions, from traditional metallurgical methods to innovations in biotechnology. Case studies add value to the theory presented, and indirect targets for recovery, such as municipal waste and combustion ash are considered. This book will be essential reading for researchers in academia and industry tackling sustainable element recovery, as well as postgraduate students in chemistry, engineering and biotechnology. Environmental scientists and policy makers will also benefit from reading about potential benefits of recovery from waste streams.
Polysaccharide Building Blocks
This book is an archival reference for the evolving field of biomaterials and their applications in society, focusing on their composition, properties, characterization, chemistry and applications in bioenergy, chemicals, and novel materials and biomaterials. It has broad appeal due to the recent heightened awareness around bioenergy and biomass as potential replacements for petroleum feedstocks. The book is divided into three parts: cellulose-based biomaterials, chitin and chitosan biomaterials, and hemicelluloses and other polysaccharides. Each chapter addresses a separate biomaterial, discussing its chemical, physical, and biological attributes, and hones in on each compound's intrinsic tunability for numerous chemical transformations. In the current quest for a "green" economy and resources, this book will help inspire scientists towards novel sources for chemicals, materials, and energy in the years to come.
Electronic Waste Management
Electronic waste contains toxic and carcinogenic compounds, which can pose a risk to the environment. This title discusses the directive and examines legislation in the USA and other parts of the world, considering the opportunities and threats posed by this form of waste.
Waste as a Resource
This volume examines the potential resource available from several waste streams. Opportunities for exploiting waste are discussed, along with their environmental and economic considerations.
Electronic Waste Management
This new edition provides an updated overview of waste management across the world including new chapters on current issues in recycling and waste management.
Sports Scare
International Trading was his profession and sports his passion. He wanted to make his passion his profession and become the Mahatma Gandhi of Sports.CWG-Delhi was like a girl he wanted more than he wanted anything in life. He deserted the corporate world by putting an end to an exciting 27 years stint in ITOCHU Corporation Japan which reared him to professional perfection. He moved into the murky waters of Indian Sports and became a classic guinea pig of a system gone rotten.15 long months he came, he saw but did not conquer. He was exposed to the corridors of power he had never seen before. He felt like a pawn on a massive chess board being moulded at the will of his masters with each one of them serving his own agenda. He suffered in stoic silence but vowed to himself that one day he would bare his innermost soul and put his tumultuous turmoil on paper. His saga is an attempt to tell his story to the masses with the optimism that it will touch their lives and also make them ponder over the question, What an opportunity it was and how it was squandered?
Revolution of Cosmetics
Cosmeceuticals, the fastest-growing sector in the natural personal care market, are becoming a cornerstone of modern skincare by merging the benefits of cosmetics with pharmaceutical properties. These innovative products claim to contain active ingredients with healing, therapeutic, or disease-fighting qualities, offering more than just cosmetic enhancement. Applied topically, cosmeceuticals act as cosmetic-pharmaceutical hybrids, designed to improve beauty while also affecting the skin and biological functions. As a bridge between traditional personal care products and pharmaceuticals, they represent a significant advancement in dermatological science. However, the regulatory landscape for cosmeceuticals remains complex, as they do not fit neatly into existing categories for drugs or cosmetics. This book aims to clarify the regulatory environment and distinguish between these categories. It also provides an in-depth exploration of the latest trends in cosmetic science, offering a thorough evaluation of cosmeceutical products that claim to deliver positive physiological impacts.
Imagery in the 21st Century
Scholars from science, art, and humanities explore the meaning of our new image worlds and offer new strategies for visual analysis. We are surrounded by images as never before: on Flickr, Facebook, and YouTube; on thousands of television channels; in digital games and virtual worlds; in media art and science. Without new efforts to visualize complex ideas, structures, and systems, today's information explosion would be unmanageable. The digital image represents endless options for manipulation; images seem capable of changing interactively or even autonomously. This volume offers systematic and interdisciplinary reflections on these new image worlds and new analytical approaches to the visu...
