Since synthetic plastics derived from fossil resources are mostly
non-biodegradable, many academic and industrial researchers have
shifted their attention toward bio-based materials, which are more
eco-friendly. Bio-Based Composites for High-Performance Materials:
From Strategy to Industrial Application provides an overview of the
state-of-art in bio-based composites. The book integrates knowledge
from various disciplines including plant science, materials
science, polymer chemistry, chemical engineering, and
nanotechnology. It discusses the raw materials used in bio-based
composites, basic design principles, properties, applications, and
life cycle assessments. The book also presents a strategic and
policy-oriented view of these composites and considers the costs of
retrofitting existing chemical production plants for bio-based
composite manufacture. It is a definitive resource on
bio-composites for academics, regulatory agencies, research and
development communities, and industries worldwide.
New analytical methods have provided further insight into the
structure, surface characteristics, and chemistries of increasingly
small particles. However, current literature offers information on
only a limited number of powders being investigated. Written by
renowned scientists in the field, Powders and Fibers: Interfacial
Science and Applications examines the most appropriate
characterization methods for analyzing powders and fibers. Using
these techniques, the authors explore the formation and roles of
various multiphase interfaces. They consider the potential for
enhancing performance and highlight related applications,
particularly for powders and fibers. The book details
characteristics such as morphology, surface energetics, surface
ionization, and electrokinetics for solid-gas, solid-rubber,
solid-solid, solid-liquid, and biological interfaces. Areas of
multidisciplinary interest also include the adsorption of
biomolecules and biocompatibility of powders and fibers,
nanoparticles and nanocomposites, biochips, and other biomedical
applications, the measurement and significance of wettability,
recent rheological data on mixes, and computer simulations used for
visualizing complex solid surfaces. As interest in the behavior and
applications of powders and fibers steadily increases, Powders and
Fibers: Interfacial Science and Applications offers a diverse
approach that bridges fundamental aspects of interfacial science
with applications of powders and fibers that is useful for
newcomers as well as practitioners in related fields.
