Antimicrobial Dressings: The Wound Care Applications explores the literature surrounding the catalytic behavior of proteolytic enzymes immobilized together with nanoparticles. As numerous applications using proteolytic enzymes for debridement, silver as antibiotic and nanoparticles for enzyme immobilization were developed in the last years, this book explores interdisciplinary information combining nanotechnology, biotechnology and medicine and how it's still in early stages. The book adopts a holistic approach in a lifecycle context to evaluate their final feasibility, including industrial exploitability without disregard of the potential risks of enzymes and nanomaterials to human health a...
Rural development technologies are critically important for the country to improve the quality of life in villages. In this context, held a National Workshop on “Technologies for Sustainable Rural Development: Having Potential of Socio-Economic Upliftment (TSRD–2014)” to frame a road map for the future which will lead to the development of rural areas and improve the socio-economic condition of rural masses through the intervention of Science and Technology.
It gives me a great pleasure to bring out this book. As considerable research work has been done in the area of nano textile finishes during the past decade, there has been a need to bring out the interesting findings of the researches as a comprehensive review, to students and academicians. It is also hoped that the book would inspire the readers to take up active research in the area. The Structure of the book has been made simple and would therefore enable even the average reader to get an overview of the current
This important book is an overall analysis of different innovative methods and ways of recycling in connection with various types of materials. It aims to provide a basic understanding about polymer recycling and its reuse as well as presents an in-depth look at various recycling methods. It provides a thorough knowledge about the work being done in recycling in different parts of the world and throws light on areas that need to be further explored. Emphasizing eco-friendly methods and recovery of useful materials The book covers a wide variety of innovative recycling methods and research, including • Green methods of recycling • Effective conversion of biomass and municipal wastes to en...
Tribology of Natural Fiber Polymer Composites, Second Edition, covers the availability and processing of natural fiber polymer composites and their structural, thermal, mechanical and tribological properties and performance. Environmental concerns are driving demand for biodegradable materials such as plant-based, natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites. These composites are fast replacing conventional materials in many industrial applications, especially in automobiles, where tribology (friction, lubrication and wear) is an important aspect. - Provides enhanced coverage on industrially relevant fiber types, such as flax, hemp, kenaf, rice, grain husk and pyrolyzed fibers - Includes an emphasis on modeling and the simulation of the wear resistance of fibers - Discusses the effect of aging in various environments and different results in wear and friction performance
Environmental concerns are driving demand for bio-degradable materials such as plant-based natural fiber reinforced polymer composites. These composites are fast replacing conventional materials in many applications, especially in automobiles, where tribology (friction, lubrication and wear) is important. This book covers the availability and processing of natural fiber polymer composites and their structural, thermal, mechanical and, in particular, tribological properties. Chapter 1 discusses sources of natural fibers, their extraction and surface modification. It also reviews the thermal, structural, mechanical, spectroscopic and morphological properties of unmodified and chemically modifi...
Functional Materials for the Oil and Gas Industry: Characterization and Applications discusses the latest techniques in characterization and applications of functional materials in the oil and gas industry. It provides an expert review of recent developments in a variety of materials, such as ceramics, composites, and alloys, and covers all major aspects relevant to the industry, including asset management (corrosion), operation (pipeline engineering), energy management, and applications in extreme environments. This book: Discusses modern characterization techniques, such as in situ TEM, SAXS, SANS, X-ray, and neutron tomography Covers conventional and advanced nondestructive techniques (ND...
