Disposal and Recycling Strategies for Nano-engineered Materials enables the reader to understand and implement the latest methods for the safe disposal and re-use of nanomaterials found in the environment at end-of-life. Sections introduce nanomaterials, their general classification, properties, and preparation techniques before providing an overview and analysis of common disposal strategies. This is followed by in-depth chapters that focus on important steps and innovative strategies in dealing with waste nanomaterials, including sampling, classification and identification of waste...

Industrial Applications of Nanoemulsion presents information about the fundamentals and applications of nanoemulsions. This important reference source for those working in the development of nanoemulsions for various applications in chemical, agricultural and engineering fields provides information on a wide range of applications in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. These nanoemulsions are made by mixing two immiscible liquids (water and oil) and suitable stabilizing agents (surfactant and co-surfactant), hence their development requires a particular set of details.

Nanotechnology Principles in Drug Targeting and Diagnosis focuses on the nanotechnology principles and mechanisms involved in drug targeting, nano carriers and target interactions associated with particular diseases. The book addresses how phytotherapeutics are effective against solid tumors and how they can be used in designing targeted delivery systems. Also addressed is the use of macrophages as the biomimetic carrier for targeting drugs to different organs. Sections cover the nanotechnology-based concepts in drug targeting, strategies for drug targeting, ways to identify drug...

Adsorption through Advanced Nanoscale Materials: Applications in Environmental Remediation brings together the latest developments in the utilization of advanced nanoadsorbents in wastewater treatment, pollution control, removal and remediation, gas separation and other environmental applications. The book begins by providing an overview of absorption, adsorbents and nanoadsorbents, introducing properties, classification, synthesis, characterization, enhancement of adsorption capabilities, principles and advantages and disadvantages of nanoadsorbents. Other sections cover the preparation of...
