Green and Sustainable Advanced Materials

This book is industry-oriented and shows current challenges for scaling up green and sustainable advanced materials design and manufacturing technology. Green and sustainable advanced materials are the newly synthesized material having superior and special properties. These fulfil today's growing demand for equipment, machines and devices with better quality for an extensive range of applications in various sectors such as paper, biomedical, food, construction, textile, and many more. The objective of this two-volume set is to provide an overview of new developments and state-of-the-art for a variety of green and sustainable advanced materials. It incorporates in-depth technical information without compromising the delicate link between factual data and fundamental concepts or between theory and practice. In the second volume, the first chapter presents a critical review of green sustainability, nanotechnology and advanced materials and provides a vision for the future. Valorization of green and sustainable advanced materials from a biomedical perspective and their potential applications are detailed in the next chapters. Applications of green and sustainable advanced materials in textile technology and environmental protection are described in a very comprehensive manner in the next batch of chapters. Synthesized nanostructures alloys for optoelectronic, biochar-supercapacitors, biomedical from synthetic and natural green and sustainable advanced materials are then covered. Efficiency of transition metals at the nanoscale as heterogeneous catalysts and emerging applications of green and sustainable advanced materials in agriculture and food industry take center stage in final two of chapters. Audience The 2-volume set will be of significant interest to materials scientists, chemists, pharmacists, biologists, biotechnologists and chemical engineers who are involved in the future frontiers of advanced materials, polymer and ceramic sciences & technology. The books will also appeal to advanced undergraduate and graduate students who will find a useful source of knowledge for their studies
