In a unified treatment for the broad subject of materials, this
book presents some fascinating phenomena associated with the
remarkable performance of polymers and chemical materials. It
provides a comprehensive description of the applications and tools
for chemical polymeric materials. It also includes the background
information necessary for assimilating the current academic
literature on complex materials and their applications.
This book presents selected papers on various aspects of rubber
engineering, technology, and exploitation. The contributions range
from new methods of the modification of filler surface and
crosslinks structure of rubber vulcanizates, through modern
functional elastomer composites, to aspects of their thermal
stability, flammability, and ozone degradation. Each chapter
contains a brief introduction to a particular topic, a description
of the experimental techniques, and a discussion on the results
obtained, followed by conclusions. The book will help to broaden
the knowledge of researchers in the field of rubber compounding,
crosslinking, and behavior under various exploitation conditions.
The research and development presented in this book has potential
for industrial applications as well as for new materials and
technologies. The book also details theoretical background to a
number of experimental techniques, which should make it interesting
to research students and professionals.

This title's contents include: perspective polymer materials with
structural inhomogeneity for the construction of new generation
optical devices; the effect of various factors on damaging of
polymeric materials by microorganisms; kinetics of radial growth of
aspergillus colonies at different temperatures; kinetics of acids
excretion in medium by mycelial micromycetes colonies; polymers for
fibre optics; isobutylene polymerisation.
Generally the topics presented in this book cover wide aspects
connected with renewable resources, how they can be obtained,
assessed, processed and finally applied. The new crops, very often
with the improved genetics, become the key to the successful plant
biotechnology, bio-fuels, biocomposites and agro-fine chemicals.
New agriculture resources like Jatropha as well as older ones like
flax and hemp, kenaf, jute, sisal are discussed as well. A special
focus is on the diversification of renewable resources for non-food
applications, including fibres, pulp and paper, agro-fine chemicals
and energy.
This book covers the following themes and cross-cutting research
and development activities: Agronomy, economics and market trends
for the production of natural fibres; Synthetic and natural fibres,
their properties, processing and applications; Properties,
performance and primary processing of natural fibres; Textile and
clothing production processes and properties; Nanotechnology
applications in fibres, textiles and clothing; Comfort and health
related applications of textiles; World trade and marketing of
fibres, textiles and clothing; Modern and innovative textile
processing techniques and technologies.
Plant biotechnology and renewable resources are the driving forces
behind a more sustainable development of agriculture and other
related industries in the world. Until the 21st century, the main
task for most industries was to raise the volume of production to
gain the highest profits possible. Non-renewable natural resources,
such as oil, were the most profitable sources of energy. This
tendency not only exploited these resources but had harmful side
effects: growing environmental pollution and changing the earth
into a desert, suitable neither for animals nor human beings. At
the beginning of the 21st century, both scientists and "green
movements" warn that it is necessary to change this philosophy of
economic progress towards a more intensive exploration of renewable
resources. Biotechnology is one of the very important and novel
tools for obtaining diversified materials on the base of renewable
resources. They can serve as a source for production of energy,
novel materials, fibres, food, agrofine chemicals and composites.
It is believed that diversified possibilities for using natural
green resources and their processing can ensure balanced progress
without side effects on the earth's environment. This book presents
research on the possibilities of creating progress in the
processing of renewable resources within the study of
biotechnology.
