This book covers the medical condition of diabetic patients, their
early symptoms and methods conventionally used for diagnosing and
monitoring diabetes. It describes various techniques and
technologies used for diabetes detection. The content is built upon
moving from regressive technology (invasive) and adapting new-age
pain-free technologies (non-invasive), machine learning and
artificial intelligence for diabetes monitoring and management.
This book details all the popular technologies used in the health
care and medical fields for diabetic patients. An entire chapter is
dedicated to how the future of this field will be shaping up and
the challenges remaining to be conquered. Finally, it shows
artificial intelligence and predictions, which can be beneficial
for the early detection, dose monitoring and surveillance for
patients suffering from diabetes

This book covers smart polymer nanocomposites with perspectives for
application in energy harvesting, as self-healing materials, or
shape memory materials. The book is application-oriented and
describes different types of polymer nanocomposites, such as
elastomeric composites, thermoplastic composites, or conductive
polymer composites. It outlines their potential for applications,
which would meet some of the most important challenges nowadays:
for harvesting energy, as materials with the capacity to self-heal,
or as materials memorizing a given shape.The book brings together
these different applications for the first time in one single
platform. Chapters are ordered both by the type of composites and
by the target applications. Readers will thus find a good overview,
facilitating a comparison of the different smart materials and
their applications. The book will appeal to scientists in the
fields of chemistry, material science and engineering, but also to
technologists and physicists, from graduate student level to
researcher and professional.

Shape Memory Composites Based on Polymers and Metals for 4D
Printing is a thorough discussion of the physics and chemistry
behind this developing area of materials science. It provides
readers with a clear exposition of shape-memory-composite (SMC)
preparation techniques for 3D and 4D printing processes and
explains how intelligent manufacturing technology may be applied in
fields such as robotics, construction, medical science, and smart
sensors. The book covers fundamental background knowledge on the
synthesis of shape memory polymers (SMPs) and shape memory alloys
(SMAs), and additive manufacturing techniques. Polymers and metals
and their roles in 4D printing are dealt with separately, and
applications of 4D printing are treated in their own chapter. The
different alloy compositions and nanoparticle fillers in polymer
composites are examined in detail, along with the key mechanisms
involved in their processing. Hybrid nanofillers and synergistic
composite mixtures, which are either in extensive current use or
have shown promising outcomes in the field of 4D printing, are
thoroughly discussed. Differences between these novel SMCs and
traditional metal alloys, organic and inorganic composites are
presented, and means by which they can improve mechanical
properties that are triggered by external sources like magnetic
field, temperature, and pH of solvent, are set out. This book
provides practitioners, industrial researchers, and scholars with a
state-of-the-art overview of SMP/SMA synthesis, additive
manufacturing, modification in synthesis of SMCs for 4D printing,
and their likely future applications.

Biopolymer Composites in Electronics examines the current
state-of-the-art in the electronic application based on biopolymer
composites. Covering the synthesis, dispersion of fillers,
characterization and fabrication of the composite materials, the
book will help materials scientists and engineers address the
challenges posed by the increased use of biopolymeric materials in
electronic applications. The influence of preparation techniques on
the generation of micro, meso, and nanoscale fillers, and the
effect of filler size and dispersion on various biopolymers are
discussed in detail. Applications covered include sensors,
actuators, optics, fuel cells, photovoltaics, dielectrics,
electromagnetic shielding, piezoelectrics, flexible displays, and
microwave absorbers. In addition, characterization techniques are
discussed and compared, enabling scientists and engineers to make
the correct choice of technique. This book is a 'one-stop'
reference for researchers, covering the entire state-of-the-art in
biopolymer electronics. Written by a collection of expert worldwide
contributors from industry, academia, government, and private
research institutions, it is an outstanding reference for
researchers in the field of biopolymer composites for advanced
technologies.
