Provides in-depth coverage of composites with a primary emphasis on their properties, processing, and their growing applications in environmental engineering Composites are materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties. The two materials combine to give a new material with higher strength, toughness, stiffness, as well as a higher resistance to creep, corrosion, wear or fatigue, compared to conventional materials. These composite materials are used in a variety of products such as spacecraft, sporting goods, sensors,…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Provides in-depth coverage of composites with a primary emphasis on their properties, processing, and their growing applications in environmental engineering Composites are materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties. The two materials combine to give a new material with higher strength, toughness, stiffness, as well as a higher resistance to creep, corrosion, wear or fatigue, compared to conventional materials. These composite materials are used in a variety of products such as spacecraft, sporting goods, sensors, actuators, biomedical materials, batteries, cars, furniture, aircraft components. This book focuses on the characterization, processing and properties of various types of composite materials, as well as their environmental engineering applications. The chapters cover nearly every topic related to composites in environmental engineering in four broad perspectives: (1) classification of composites (2) green/hybrid synthesis and characterization of nano and biocomposites (3) processing of composite materials (4) state-of-the-art in fabricating nano and biocomposites for environmental applications. Specifically, subjects include * Utilization of fiber reinforced polymer composite materials and their sustainable and green advantages * Comprehensive review of the advances made in the mechanochemical process of composite preparation * Food packaging applications of biodegradable polymer nanocomposites * Constructive techniques in the application of nanocomposites for treatment of pollutants, impurities sensing, and detection * Zinc oxide nanocomposites and their application in water remediation * Types of metal nanocomposites and their applications in degradation of organic dyes in pollution control * Polymer and magnetic polymer nanocomposites, fabrication methods, and applications like catalytic degradation, adsorption of pollutants, elimination of heavy metals, toxic dyes, effluents and removal of oil from water in environmental engineering * Strategies to develop bio-composites from food wastes Audience Researchers and industry scientists/engineers working in the fields of polymer science, chemistry, environmental engineering, and materials science.
