Opis

As the planet changes quickly and radically, the need for advanced materials grows more urgent every day. Solutions that were created in the last century cannot be applied to contemporary challenges facing energy, water, communications, health, nutrition, and environmental management. To meet each of these variables, enhancements in material properties must be sought in order to invent new materials and improve the performance of existing materials. Smart Materials for Environmental and Industrial Applications is a pivotal scholarly resource that describes the most recently introduced advanced construction materials that are considered in terms of four broad industrial and environmental categories: catalysis, new and regenerating energy, water treatment, and green chemistry and sustainability. While covering a wide range of topics such as nanotechnology, water treatment, and green chemistry, this book is ideally designed for material engineers and chemists, chemical engineers, ecologists, environmentalists, industrialists, academicians, students, and researchers in the fields of material science, waste management, and air and water pollution.
