The chemistry of heterocomplex compounds is a fascinating field for experts in chemical synthesis and structural analysis, and for technologists specializing in leather processing. This volume describes the vast theoretical and practical possibilities of exploiting the action synergism of metals with different collagen cross-linking capacity. The possibility of reducing chromium content from leather tanning agents by replacing it with other tanning metals has significant environmental implications and minimum changes in terms of quality and production costs of natural leather, and is a viable alternative for a safe future. Applicative Chemistry of Tanning Metallic Heterocomplexes is a book d...
This book reports on new trends, challenges and solutions, in the multidisciplinary fields of biomedical engineering and medical physics. Contributions spans from biomechanics, to robotic rehabilitation, radiation oncology, and image and signal processing, among many other topics. They cover advanced devices for diagnosis or patient monitoring, as well as for therapy (non-invasive surgery, rehabilitation and more). Gathering the proceedings of the 19th Nordic-Baltic Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Medical Physics, NBC 2023, held on June 12–14, 2023, in Liepaja, Latvia, this book is expected to inform a wide audience of researchers, engineers and other professionals working in the broad field of biomedical engineering, and to offer a timely snapshot of research and projects that have been carried out within Nordic and Baltic countries, in particular, but not limited to them.
This book is based on the discussions and papers prepared for the NATO Advanced Research Workshop that took place under the auspices of the NATO Security Through Science Programme and addressed urban water management problems. The workshop sought to critically assess the existing knowledge on Xenobiotics in urban water cycle, with respect to diverse conditions in participating countries, and promote close co-operation among scientists with different professional experience.
This book provides information about the sources, structure, and properties of keratin as well as its applications. The extraction from different biomass sources (e.g. feathers, hairs, nails, horn, hoof, and claws) as well as the characterization methods of these extracted materials are explained. The development of bioproducts from keratins is challenging and limited since they are neither soluble in polar solvents nor in non-polar solvents. Therefore, the utilization of different microorganisms for the degradation of keratin is also discussed. The main aim of this book is to highlight the unique features of keratin and to update readers with the possible prospects to develop various value-added products from keratins. The book is highly interesting to researchers working in industry and academia on bioproducts, tissue engineering, biocomposites, biofilm, and biofibers.

The book provides an up-to-date account of the various techniques of fabrication & functionalization of electrospun nanofibers as well as recent advancements. An overview of the advanced applications of such techniques in different areas is also presented. Both experimental and theoretical approaches related to electrospun nanofibers are covered along with a discussion on the inherent properties of electrospun nanofibers. Therefore, this book provides a unique resource not only to established researchers but also newcomers starting out in this field.
Takes a materials science approach, correlating structure-property relationships with function across a broad range of biological materials.
