Consolidates different aspects of nanoparticles like synthesis and
types of nanotherapeutics in a detailed manner Presents categorical
classification of nanoparticles as therapeutics Covers the
sustainability of nanotherapeutics Reviews fabrication and
advancement of all categories of nanotherapeutics Discusses
specific applications such as in cancer therapy, skin treatments,
and targeted drug delivery
Surfactants are often completely invisible to us and yet they are
present in almost every chemical that we use in our daily life.
They are found in toothpastes, cosmetics, sunscreens, mayonnaise,
detergents, and an array of cleaning products. Traditional
surfactants are known to have adverse environmental impacts
spurring research into eco-friendly and cost-effective surfactants
from renewable resources. Surfactants from Renewable Raw Materials
examines the class of surfactants synthesized using plant-based raw
materials detailing their properties, applications,
bioavailability, and biodegradability. The concluding chapter
reviews patent activity over the last decade. Additional features
include: Addresses the tremendous variation found in the raw
materials used to synthesize commercially available surfactants.
Explores the selection of raw materials based upon the desired
hydrophobic group or hydrophilic group to be incorporated into the
product. Examines the characteristics and medicinal applications of
pulmonary surfactants in preterm babies as well as their probable
contribution in COVID-19 Discusses the biodegradability of
surfactants to assist with the determination of truly green
surfactants. This comprehensive reference will prove indispensable
for professional and academic researchers creating or working with
bio-based surfactants.
Offshore platforms face many risks, including a hostile ocean
environment, extreme temperatures, overpressure loads, fire risks,
and hydrocarbon explosions, all of which pose unique challenges in
designing their topside platforms. The topside design also involves
the selection of appropriate materials to reduce fire risk without
compromising the functional requirements. These platforms serve
valuable, utility, production, and processing purposes, and can
also provide living quarters for personnel. Concepts such as basic
design, special design, materials selection, and risk hazards are
explained in the authors' straightforward classroom style, and are
based on their rich experience in both academia and industry.
Features * Includes practical examples which are solved using
international codes to offer a better understanding of the subjects
presented * Addresses safety and risk of offshore platforms, and
considers numerous topside accident scenarios * Discusses the
structural and mechanical properties of various materials, such as
steel and newer functionally graded materials (FGMs) Design Aids
for Offshore Topside Platforms Under Special Loads serves as a
design manual for multi-disciplinary engineering graduates and
practicing professionals working in civil, mechanical, offshore,
naval, and petroleum engineering fields. In addition, the book will
serve as reference manual for practicing design engineers and risk
assessors.
