Industrial ecology, eco-efficiency, and green chemistry are guiding
the development of the next generation of materials, products, and
processes. Considerable growth has been seen in the use of
biocomposites in the domestic sector, building materials, aerospace
industry, circuit boards, and automotive applications over the past
decade, but application in other sectors until now has been
limited. Green Approaches to Biocomposite Materials Science and
Engineering explores timely research on the various available types
of natural fibers and the use of these fibers as a sustainable
alternative to synthetic fibers and polymers. Emphasizing
research-based solutions for sustainability across various
industries, this publication is an essential reference source for
engineers, researchers, environmental scientists, and
graduate-level students.
Sustainable Biopolymer Composites: Biocompatibility, Self-healing,
Modeling, Repair and Recyclability focuses on sustainable polymer
composites also referred to as bio- composites. Vital aspects such
as biodegradability, biocompatibility, repair and recyclability are
discussed in detail. In addition, complexities like rapid and
scalable processing, onsite repair, and minimal environmental
effects are also covered along with the appropriateness of advanced
polymer composites for structural applications in automotive,
aviation and marine industries. This book will be an indispensable
resource for scientists, engineers, physicists and chemists who are
interested in the preparation, applications and repair analysis of
bio-based composites and nano-composites for different types of
applications. The composites repair process is extremely complex,
hence it is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of
damage mechanisms to apply the most suitable repair technique.
Damage assessment using onsite inspection, e.g., NDT, THz
techniques and the automated repair process for reliability and
repeatability, are vital parameters when executing bonded composite
repair. Furthermore, overall integrity and structural health
monitoring of composites repair is also necessary.
Bioresorbable Polymers and their Composites: Characterization and
Fundamental Processing for Pharmaceutical and Medical Device
Development provides a holistic view of these unique materials and
their usage in a range of biomedical applications. The book is
evenly divided between fundamentals, processing methods and
modeling approaches, and includes detailed coverage of a variety of
applications, such as drug delivery, medical devices and wound
healing. Key aspects including biocompatibility, biodegradability
and toxicology are also thoroughly covered, enabling the reader to
be fully informed when fabricating and utilizing their selected
bioresorbable polymer. This book is an interdisciplinary and
important reference for researchers in the fields of materials
science, biomedical engineering, pharmaceutical science and
regenerative medicine, as well as R&D groups in the development
of medical devices.
Biomass, Biopolymer-Based Materials and Bioenergy: Construction,
Biomedical and Other Industrial Applications covers a broad range
of material types, including natural fiber reinforced polymer
composites, particulate composites, fiberboard, wood fiber
composites, and plywood composite that utilize natural, renewable
and biodegradable agricultural biomass. In terms of bioenergy, the
authors explore not only the well-known processing methods of
biofuels, but also the kinetics of biofuels production pathways, a
techno-economic analysis on biomass gasification, and biomass
gasification with further upgrading into diesel additives and
hybrid renewable energy systems for power generation. Further
chapters discuss advanced techniques for the development of
biomass-based composites, biopolymer-based composites, biomass
gasification, thermal kinetic design and techno-economic analysis
of biomass gasification. By introducing these topics, the book
highlights a totally new research theme in biopolymer-based
composite materials and bioenergy.
The scorched desert of Rajasthan is the setting for this musical
adaptation of Emily Bronte's timeless tale of passion, jealousy and
revenge. Shakuntala is the fiery and headstrong daughter of spice
merchant Singh. Krishan is the wily street urchin from Bombay that
Singh brings home after a trip to market. Thrown together as
unlikely siblings, a tumultuous romance soon develops. But can
their love withstand Indian society's taboos and hierarchies, not
to mention Shakuntala's yearning for a life of luxury that only
neighbouring landowner Vijay can provide? Wuthering Heights, one of
the world's great love stories, is given a vibrant new life in this
new adaptation produced by Tamasha and inspired by classic Indian
cinema.
