Polymer Engineering
Polymer Engineering focuses on the preparation and application of polymers in several hot topics such as artificial photosynthesis, water purification by membrane technologies, and biodiesel production from wastewater plants. The authors not only describe the latest developments in polymer science, but also support these experimental results by computational chemistry and modelling studies.
Plastic Additives
Additives are essential components of plastic formulations providing maintenance and modification of polymer properties, performance and long-term use. The book provides information on the many different plastic ingredients and their purpose with market information, theoretical background such as mechanisms, state-of-the-art technical solutions, applications and examples, synergisms and antagonisms, risk and future trends covering plastics recycling and biobased products.
Self-Reinforced Polymer Composites
This book is a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of self-reinforced polymer composites (SRCs) science and technology. After introducing the fundamental characteristics of SRCs, ample space is given to manufacturing, processing, characterization and application techniques. The approach is didactic and focused on formulations, illustrations and applications, which makes the book ideal for students, teachers and practitioners alike.
Polymer Surface Characterization
This fully updated edition provides a broad approach to the surface analysis of polymers being of high technological interest. Modern analytical techniques, potential applications and recent advances in instrumental apparatus are discussed. The self-consistent chapters are devoted to spectroscopic and microscopic techniques which represent powerful tools for the characterization of morphology and chemical, physical, mechanical properties of polymer surfaces, interfaces, and thin fi lms. Selection of techniques which can properly address very shallow depth of surfaces, spanning from few angstroms to tens of nanometers Interaction of polymer surfaces with their surroundings is pointed out as a critical issue for specifi c applications
Thermoplastic Composites
The book covers various thermoplastic composites, including continuous and discontinuous fiber thermoplastic composites. It describes processing methods and explains the effect of different processing parameters on the structure and performance of thermoplastic composites. Characterization and mechanics of the composite are also discussed in the book.
SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY
Synthetic biology stands as one of the most revolutionary fields in modern science, enabling the creation of artificial living organisms in laboratories. This book delves into the ethical and practical implications of this emerging technology. Covering the history of its development to the latest advancements, it encompasses all fundamental areas, including personalized medicine, sustainable agriculture, and bioenergy production. Synthetic biology not only offers innovative solutions to global issues like climate change and food security but also raises crucial questions about the nature of life and the limits of human intervention. With a detailed focus on key technologies, ethical challenges, and necessary biosafety measures, this work provides a comprehensive and balanced view of a constantly evolving field. Readers will discover how this discipline can transform entire industries and how society can responsibly manage its enormous potentials and inherent risks.
Sustainability of Polymeric Materials
This book will provide a comprehensive overview on the green approach to the research and industrialization of plastic materials. An effort will be made to offer to the reader a critical perspective concerning both oil-based plastics and novel bio-based and waste-derived polymer formulations. A special focus on bio-innovation in the area of organic materials will also be delivered.
Rubber Products
Rubber Products describes cost-effective and environmentally friendly technologies in the field of rubber. The book covers rubber compounding, innovations in rubber-based products, devulcanisation of cured rubber and provides lean management techniques. It explains the commercial advantages of graphene-rubber nanocomposites, details the morphology of most common reinforcing carbon blacks and explores innovative applications of rubber in automotive and Defence sectors. The title is also discussing potential alternative technologies which could disrupt the rubber industry in the future. All chapters are written by prominent rubber scientists from both the industry and academia.
Chemical Synergies
This book gives an overview of recent integrated and inter-disciplinary approaches between chemical experiment and theory in a variety of fields, from polymer science to materials chemistry and ranging from the design of tailored properties to catalysis and reactivity, building on the well-established success of Density Functional Theory as the foremost quantum chemical method to provide qualitative and quantitative interpretation of results from the chemical laboratory. The combination of several characterization techniques with an understanding at the molecular level of chemical and physical phenomena are the main focal point of the subject matter.
Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Microplastic Pollution in the Mediterranean Sea
Microplastic pollution is a global problem, and its severity only threatens to get worse. This book presents all of the most up-to-date research on microplastic pollution, identifies issues and proposes actions to be taken and solutions to be implemented in facing down this environmental threat. The book details a host of aspects related to microplastic pollution, including: causes and effects; the impact on different environments; the emerging threat of nanoplastics; detection systems for monitoring areas subject to pollution; the ramifications in regard to other types of pollutants; green approaches for the synthesis of environmentally-friendly polymers; and socio-economic and environmenta...
