Molecular Forces and Self Assembly
"Challenging the cherished notions of colloidal theory, Barry Ninham and Pierandrea Lo Nostro confront the scientific lore of molecular forces and colloidal science in an incisive and thought-provoking manner. Throughout the book, they question assumptions, unearth flaws and present new results and ideas. With mathematics kept to a minimum and historic facts and anecdotes woven through the text, this is a highly engaging and readable treatment for students and researchers in science and engineering." --Book Jacket.
Surfactants in Solution
This volume chronicles the proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Surfactants in Solution (SIS) held in Gainesville, FL, June 10-15, 1990. This series of symposia have been smoothly running since 1976, but the appellation "Surfactants in Solution" was used for the first time in 1982 in Lund. Since then our logo "SIS" has become very familiar to everyone involved in surfactants. In Lund the meeting was billed as the Fourth International Symposium on Surfactants in Solution. Earlier three events were held under different rubrics, but proceedings of all these symposia, except the 7th SIS held in Ottawa in 1988, have been properly documented. As a matter of fact so far 10 volumes have...
Nanotechnologies for Solubilization and Delivery in Foods, Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals
Beginning with the basics of surfactant chemistry and micellization, this book presents a range of nanotechnology strategies for controlling colloidal and polymeric structures for the solubilization and targeted delivery of food nutrients and pharmaceuticals.
Synthesis and Characterization of Nanoparticles
Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: The development of small and smallest particle is one of today s key features in modern science. The goal is to form materials with improved properties than their classical ancestors with just a fractional amount of raw material. Another key feature of nanoparticles is their different, and sometimes unexpected, behavior concerning reactivity, compared with their bulk materials. Because of this, nanoparticles have a wide range of applications, especially in the field of catalysis. Here, characteristics of nanoparticles - more edges, corners, defects or oxygen vacancies are used to obtain a high performance of the catalysts. Nanoscaled particles also exhibit larger ...
Nanotechnology in Agriculture and Environmental Science
This book provides examples applications of nanotechnology in addressing problems and challenges in agriculture as well as environmental sciences and provides an overview of innovations in nanopesticides, nanofertilizers, bionanosensors and nano-based delivery system for improving different aspects of plant productivity including pre-harvest and post-harvest strategies as well detection of contaminants that could be useful for enhancing soil health. Recycling of agricultural waste to beneficial products using nanotechnologies; bionanosensors; fate of nanomaterials and the ecological consequences of their delivery into the environment; safety and nanotoxicity issues are other topics being dea...
Transforming Clothing Production into a Demand-driven, Knowledge-based, High-tech Industry
Recent trends in the fashion market (including an impressive increase in the number of new collections, product assortments and variants, and the emerging mass-customization model) dictate the need for a new approach. "Transforming Clothing Production into a Demand-Driven, Knowledge-Based, High-Tech Industry" discusses the ramifications of such an approach, which must lead to a drastic shortening of the whole cycle from conception to production and retail, as well as a shift from a labor-intensive to a technology- and knowledge-intensive clothing manufacturing industry. "Transforming Clothing Production into a Demand-Driven, Knowledge-Based, High-Tech Industry" is a collection of short papers from prominent researchers involved with the LEAPFROG (Leadership for European Apparel Production From Research along Original Guidelines) initiative. LEAPFROG proposes a revolutionary industrial paradigm based on research results in scientific-technological fields.
Nanomedicine and Cancer Therapies
Nanotechnology has the power to radically change the way cancer is diagnosed, imaged, and treated. The holistic approach to cancer involves noninvasive procedures that emphasize restoring the health of human energy fields. Presenting a wealth of information and research about the most potent cancer healing therapies, this forward-thinking book explores how nanomedicine, holistic medicine, and other cancer therapies play important roles in treatment of this disease. Topics include nanobiotechnology for antibacterial therapy and diagnosis, mitochondrial dysfunction and cancer, antioxidants and combinatorial therapies, and optical and mechanical investigations of nanostructures for biomolecular detection.
Firenze e l’Università
Una storia dei 100 anni dell’Ateneo, calata nella lunga durata dell’alta formazione in città, dalle origini medievali e proto-moderne, alla sua progressiva istituzionalizzazione, alla vigilia dell’Unità e quindi nel periodo di Firenze capitale, sino alla nascita della Università degli Studi, il primo ottobre del 1924. Nel ventennio fascista, l’Ateneo conosce un significativo sviluppo, ma subisce, pesantemente, l’invadenza del regime. Protagonista, con i suoi uomini migliori, della progettazione della Repubblica, intreccerà, con la ricchissima articolazione del territorio, una fitta rete di relazioni, accompagnandone la crescita e ricevendone stimoli profondi, in una dialettica – qui attentamente ricostruita – che vedrà la progressiva trasformazione di un insegnamento, troppo a lungo elitario, in università di massa, in parallelo ai profondi mutamenti del paese.
Nanoscience for the Conservation of Works of Art
Understanding the chemistry behind works of art and heritage materials presents an opportunity to apply scientific techniques to their conservation and restoration. Manipulation of materials at the nanoscale affords greater accuracy and minimal disturbance to the original work, while efficiently combating the affects of time and environment. This book meets the growing demand for an all-encompassing handbook to instruct on the use of today's science on mankind's cultural heritage. The editors have pioneered modern techniques in art conservation over the last four decades, and have brought together expertise from across the globe. Each chapter presents the theoretical background to the topic ...
