New Polymer Nanocomposites for Environmental Remediation

Recent research and development in polymer nanocomposites has inspired the progress and use of novel and cost-effective environmental applications. This book summarizes recent progress in development of these materials' properties, fabrication methods, and their applications for treatment of contaminants, pollutant sensing, and detection. This book fills a critical gap by presenting current research into how polymer nanocomposites can be used in environmental remediation, detailing major environmental issues, key materials properties required to solve these issues, and existing polymers or nanomaterials that can solve these issues. The book provides a thorough understanding of the subject, from the fundamental molecular structure of polymers used in environmental applications to discussions of toxicology, economy and life-cycle analysis of polymer nanocomposites, as well as an analysis of potential future applications of these materials. Presents critical, actionable guidelines to the structure and property design of nanocomposites in environmental remediation. Focuses on taking technology out of the lab and into the real worldSummarizes the latest developments in polymer nanocomposites and their applications in catalytic degradation, adsorptive removal, and detection of contaminants in the environmentEnables researchers to stay ahead of the curve, with a full discussion of regulatory issues, as well as potential new applications and materials in this area INDICE: 1.
