English | 2024 | ISBN: 1774915324 | 334 Pages | PDF (True) | 12 MB
When applying human ingenuity and experience to natural resources and processes, scientists and researchers can maximize the potential of nature for human benefit. In that vein, this book explores the latest breakthroughs in natural biopolymers, green composites, and green nanocomposites, a field that is rapidly expanding. The volume looks at bio-based polymers and composites for environmental sustainability, such as in bioremediation and for wastewater treatment. It discusses natural polymers from waste products and considers the use of bio-based polymers and composites in fertilization in horticulture as well as in industry and construction, such as for recycling of concrete, for gas sensing applications for safety, for fiber-reinforced epoxy composites, etc.

Free Download Advanced Strategies for Biodegradation of Plastic Polymers by Ravindra Soni, Prasenjit Debbarma, Deep Chandra Suyal, Reeta Goel
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 417 Pages | ISBN : 3031556607 | 28.3 MB
Synthetic plastic offers a wide range of utilities because of its physico-chemical properties, thus the demand for its commercial availability and generation of waste is inevitable. Although the scientists have proved over the years that plastics can be efficiently biodegraded by different potential microorganisms, this sustainable green technology is still in the cocoon phase and overlooked by the industry and government as well. Therefore, this book will showcase the cutting-edge microbial tools to mitigate the plastic waste sustainably in consideration of latest technologies and recent strategic advancements besides discussing the global plastic production and their impacts on environment. It will also provide the present status and future perspectives of the environmental clean-up technologies. Moreover, it is an effort to ascertain the potential areas for large-scale biodegradation or pilot scale or start-up ventures in the field of plastic remediation strategy.

Free Download Nikhil K. Singha, "Functional Polymers by Reversible Deactivation Radical Polymerisation: Synthesis and Applications"
English | ISBN: 191024256X | 2017 | 408 pages | PDF | 14 MB
The synthesis of tailor-made functional polymers with controlled architecture is very challenging. The functional groups present in the monomer often either prevent polymerisation or lead to several side reactions. In this regard, reversible deactivation radical polymerisation (RDRP) techniques are useful tools to prepare macromolecular architectures with controlled molecular weight, architecture and narrow dispersity. This book describes the advances in the area of RDRP to prepare functional polymers for a wide range of applications, such as self-healing, oil- and water-resistant coatings, controlled drug delivery systems and so on. The worthy contribution from renowned experts working in the field of RDRP makes this book invaluable to researchers as it covers important areas such as:

Free Download Victor O. Sheftel, "Indirect Food Additives and Polymers: Migration and Toxicology"
English | 2000 | ISBN: 1566704995 | PDF | pages: 1321 | 599.5 mb
Now, more than ever, foods come packaged in containers designed for direct cooking or heating, which often causes the movement of substances – indirect additives – into foods. Because of their unique characteristics, plastics or polymeric materials (PM) have become the most important packaging material for food products. The safety assessment of plastics intended for use in contact with foodstuffs or drinking water continues to present a serious challenge.
