Engineered Polymer Nanocomposites for Energy Harvesting
Applications looks at materials engineering, characterization and
design aspects of mechanical energy harvesting devices for superior
performance. Tapping into electrical energy from various mechanical
stimuli, such as stress, elongation, tension and vibration has been
getting substantial research attention, however, there are many
challenges associated with the development energy harvesters with
efficient conversion capabilities. This title consolidates a broad
spectrum of material engineering and devices design research into
one resource and will be an invaluable reference for those working
in this field.
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a diverse group of human-made
chemicals that are used in a wide range of consumer and industrial
products. They are under intense scrutiny due to environmental
concerns and there is a call to ban new PFASs entering the market.
That said, this book is not intended to wave the banner against
PFASs per se; rather it provides a balanced overview of the field,
from basic synthesis through to applications, why some current
PFASs are and may remain the right substance for the job, as well
as addressing the challenges and alternatives. Covering
organofluorine chemistry to fluoropolymers and their applications
in various sectors from biomedical to agrochemical, energy and
electrical industries, this book is a solid introduction to the
topic and demonstrates why fluorinated products are still useful in
many domains. With risk assessment and alternatives to PFASs
included, it provides a considered account of both the positive
applications of PFASs and the pressing environmental concerns.
Suitable for academics and industrial practitioners working in the
fields of organic and macromolecular chemistries, it will also
appeal to end-users who want to learn about the technology,
applications and elimination or recycling of such fluorinated
products.
Fluoropolymers are unique materials. Since the middle of the
twentieth century fluropolymers have been used in applications
where a wide temperature range, a high resistance to aggressive
media, excellent tribological characteristics, and specific low
adhesion are required. Today, researchers turn to fluoropolymers to
solve new challenges and to develop materials with previously
unattainable properties. Fascinating Fluoropolymers and Their
Applications covers recent developments of fluoropolymer
applications in energy, optical fibers, blood substitutes, textile
coatings, membranes and other areas, written by experts in these
fields. This volume in the Progress in Fluorine Science series is
ideal for researchers and engineers who want to learn about the
technology and applications of these special polymers, as well as
industrial manufacturers who are interested in achieving new
product characteristics in their respective industries.

Synthesis, Characterization, Processing, Simulation and Recycling
covers recent developments in fluoropolymers, including synthesis
of new copolymers, strategies for radical polymerization of
fluoromonomers (conventional or controlled; RDRP), and the
modification of fluoropolymers to achieve desired material
characteristics. This volume in the Progress in Fluorine Science
series is ideal for researchers and engineers who want to learn
about the synthetic strategies, properties, and recycling of these
