Biopolymers have the potential to cut carbon emissions and reduce
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide released when
they degrade can be reabsorbed by plants, which makes them close to
carbon neutral. Biopolymers are biodegradable and some are
compostable, too. This book presents key topics on biopolymers,
including their synthesis, characterization, and physiochemical
properties, and discusses their applications in key areas such as
biomedicine, agriculture, and environmental engineering. It will
serve as an in-depth reference for the biopolymer industry-material
suppliers and processors, producers, and fabricators-and engineers
and scientists who are designing biopolymers or evaluating options
for switching from traditional plastics to biopolymers.

Advanced bionanocomposite materials continue to be increasingly
popular and are important for a wide range of scientific and
engineering applications. In the race to exploit the unique
mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of bionanocomposite
materials, researchers need to address new challenges in
predicting, understanding, and managing the potentially adverse
effects these materials could have on the environment and human
life. This book focuses on the fundamentals of bionanostructured
materials and bionanocomposites. It deals with some recent
developments in the synthesis and characterization of
bionanomaterials as well as their incorporation into polymer
matrixes. The biological applications of bionanomaterials are also
discussed in detail, along with the synthesis of bionanostructured
materials and bionanocomposites, reviews of food packing, water
remediation, heavy metal ion adsorption from wastewaters, and other
industrial applications. This book is aimed at beginners in this
field as well as advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level
students of materials science and researchers working in the fields
of bionanocomposites, nanotechnology, and analytical chemistry,
especially those with an interest in materials for analytical
applications.
Biocomposites, formed by a matrix and a reinforcement of natural
fibers, often mimic the structure of living materials and offer the
strength of the matrix as well as biocompatibility. Being
renewable, cheap, recyclable, and biodegradable, they have
witnessed rapidly growing interest in terms of industrial and
fundamental applications. This book focuses on fiber-based
composites applied to biomedical and environmental applications. It
presents a comprehensive survey of biocomposites from the existing
literature, paying particular attention to various biomedical and
environmental applications. The text describes mechanical designs
and manufacturing aspects of various fibrous polymer matrix
composites and presents examples of the synthesis and development
of bionanocomposites and their applications. The book is the first
of its kind to present all these topics together unlike most other
books on nano-/biocomposites that are generally limited to their
fundamentals, different methods of synthesis, and applications.
Handbook of Nano-biomaterials for Therapeutics and Diagnostic
Applications covers in-depth topics on nano-biomaterials and nano
drug delivery systems (biosensors and bioimaging) involving polymer
nanocomposites, metal nanocomposites, and other carbon family
fibers and proteins. The book covers the current application of
tiny machines or nanodevices and their use as early detection
systems for life threatening diseases, giving detailed literature
on the development of nanodevices, their use as diagnostic tools,
and their present trend in the industry and market. In addition,
their synthesis, potential applications and future of smart
nanodevices in diagnosis of diseases and their use as smart
clinical devices is covered. Users will find sections on recent
advances in interdisciplinary research on the processing,
morphology, structure and properties of nanostructured materials
and their applications in drug delivery for various diseases such
as cancer, tuberculosis, Alzheimer disease, ophthalmic diseases,
and more.
Green Sustainable Process for Chemical and Environmental
Engineering and Science: Ionic Liquids as Green Solvents discusses
the application of ionic liquids as environment-friendly solvents
in the extraction, separation and purification of organic and
inorganic compounds, as reaction media in biochemical and chemical
reactions and catalysis, and in green organic and drug syntheses.
It covers various industrial applications, from polymer synthesis,
to biodiesel and lubrication, paint and pigments, water softening
and dry-cleaning, ore refining, the nuclear industry, aerogels,
fuel cells, and more. Specific sections cover hydrogenation,
oxidation, hydroformylation, acylation, acetylation, dimerization,
oligomerization, photochemical and cleavage of ethers reactions.
The book's main emphasis lies in the extraction and separation of

This book deals with the introduction to heavy metals, pollution,
sources and their toxic effects to living systems. The developed
analytical protocol involved the production of catalytic hydrogen
waves from metal-dithiocarbamate complexes at DME in presence of
supporting electrolytic medium. The same principle was adopted for
the quantification of Cr(VI), Mn(II) and Co(II) in various
environmental samples. This book is highly useful to
environmentalists and chemists for the routine analysis of heavy
metal ions.
This book deals with the Introduction to various types of
Environmental Pollution and diverse effects of Metal ion pollution.
A fair Introduction was given about different kinds of Currents and
their application in Analytical Chemistry. Production of Simple
Catalytic & Catalytic Hydrogen Currents were explained with
examples. Dithiocarbamte Chemistry was mentioned and two ligands
such as Ammonium Piperidine Dithiocarbamate and Ammonium Morpholine
Dithiocarbamate were synthesized and applied for the Estimation of
Copper concentration in various Matrices of Environmental
Importance at Dropping Mercury Electrode. The Results obtaines were
compared with DIfferential Pulse Polarography in terems of
Student-"t"-test and Variance Ratio "f"-test which indicated the
statistical soundness of the Chapter. The developed was facile,
sensitive, rapid and economical for the analysis of copper. This
can also employed in commercial laboratories for routine quality
control analysis.
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) has become an established method
with widespread recognition as an analytical technique of choice in
numerous analytical laboratories, including industrial and academic

method development, detection, and quantitative analysis and
estimation of pharmacokinetic parameters and broadens the
understanding of modern CE applications, developments, and
prospects. It introduces the fundamentals of CE and clearly
outlines the procedures used to mitigate several barriers, such as
detection limits, signal detection, changing capillary environment,
resolution separation of analytes, and hyphenation of mass
spectrometry with CE, for a range of analytical problems. Each
chapter outlines a specific electrophoretic variant with detailed
instructions and some standard operating procedures. In this
respect, the book meets its desired goal of rendering assistance to
lovers of electrophoresis.
