In the physics of polymer/clay nanocomposites, the first part of
the book is related to the crystallization kinetics and structure
of Poly (trimethylene terephthalate)/monolayer nanomica system
while the second part is rendered to the structure-property
relationships of Poly (trimethylene 2, 6-naphthalate)/layered clay
nanocomposites under uniaxial drawing and cold crystallization
conditions. This book includes, i) The segregation phenomena of
nanomica owing to the crystallization behavior of PTT ii) The
analysis of Avrami equation and secondary nucleation theory for
PTT/MNM nanocomposite system iii) The formation of the house of
cards type structure of layered clay in the PTN matrix iv) The
alteration of glass transition behavior before and after drawing v)
The analysis of CRR theory for the PTN/layered clay nanocomposite
system. vi) The analysis of Time Temperature superposition and WLF
equation for PTN/layered clay nanocomposites
"What Dr Samuel Johnson did for English, Professor Amir Kassam has
done for Conservation Agriculture (CA). He is eminently well
qualified and has enlisted more than a hundred battle-hardened
champions to contribute 26 chapters amounting to over a thousand
scholarly pages. The content is formidable. Volume one, Systems and
Science, embraces: the need for CA; global developments; soil
health and landscape management; the roles of minimum soil
disturbance, mulch and cover crops; crops and cropping systems,
vegetable systems, perennial systems; integration of cropping and
livestock; mechanization; certification; institutional and policy
support. Volume two, Practice and Benefits, includes management of
crops and cropping systems, soil, weeds, insect pests and disease,
nutrients, carbon, and biodiversity; climate change mitigation and
adaptation; benefits to farmers and society; ecosystem services;
and rehabilitation of degraded farmland...This book can change the
future."review by David Dent in International Journal of
Environmental Studies This collection reviews ways of optimising
Conservation Agricultural (CA) practices and their benefits.
Chapters summarise research on optimising soil management, crop
nutrition and irrigation, as well as weed, insect pest and disease
management. The book also reviews ways of optimising the
environmental and social benefits of adopting CA practices.
Chapters discuss carbon and biodiversity management, the ways CA
can promote ecosystem services as well as the use of life cycle
assessment (LCA) techniques to monitor and improve CA. There are
also chapters on improving the economic and broader social benefits
of CA for farming communities.
