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.
The emergence of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals has generated
great fundamental and technical interest in recent years. The size
dependent emission property for Cadmium Selenide quantum dots
renders it indispensable in the field of nanocrystal-based emitters
used in electronic and bioelectronic devices. Investigation of
these semiconductor quantum dots reveals the evolution of the
electronic structure from an extended solid state to the molecular
limit, an extremely important issue of basic and applied research
in condensed matter physics. The work presented in this book mainly
deals with the synthesis and characterization of chemically
synthesized CdSe nanoparticles. A detailed investigation of the
optical, structural and morphological properties of CdSe QDs and
their correlation with both core and surface has been carried out.
The theoretical aspect of quantum confinement and stability of CdSe
quantum dots with organic and inorganic layers, are correlated to
understand the surface modification aspects. Finally CdSe-polymer
nanocomposites were discussed for their potential application in
biomarkers and photo-electronic devices.
