Presents current knowledge on physical and chemical processes in polymer materials under the ion beam, properties of the materials, regimens of treatment, and equipment that can be used in scientific and industrial processes

KEY FEATURES

Collates data from many scientists working in polymer chemistry, physics of ion beam implantation, and in development and production of ion beam equipment

Covers industrial and scientific applications of ion beam implanted polymers

Integrates physical and chemical aspects of the processes in polymers treated by ion beams

DESCRIPTION

Ion Beam Treatment of Polymers, Second Edition presents the results of polymer investigations and

technique development in the field of polymer modification by high‐energy ion beams. It shows

how to use ion beam equipment in the polymer industry, as well as how to use it to produce new

polymer materials. The authors, scientists and researchers active in the field, provide analysis and

data from their work, and give an overview of related work by others. The authors focus on wetting,

adhesion, hardness, chemical activity, environmental stability, biocompatibility, new synthesis

methods, and space flight construction.

The technologies of material modification by a beam of high energy ions have wide applications in

different fields, from microelectronics to medicine. Historically, ion beam treatment of polymers

had fewer applications due to high costs of ion beam equipment and low costs of polymer

materials. The modern development of new pulse sources with a high current density and wide ion

beams increase the effectiveness of ion beam technology for polymers.

A comprehensive scientific overview of the issues and methods involved with effective surface engineering of biomaterials in order to enhance their compatibility with the human body.


KEY FEATURES

A comprehensive overiew of switchable and responsive materials and surfaces

Includes in depth analysis of thermo‐responsive polymers, photonic sensitve materials and peptide‐based surfaces

Detailed exploration of biological ineractions of responsive and switchable surfaces, covering stimuli‐sensitive polymers for drug delivery, surfaces with proteins/cells and application of polymers in medical devices

DESCRIPTION

Surface modification of biomaterials can ultimately determine whether a material is accepted or

rejected from the human body. With appropriate modification of surfaces adhesion,

biocompatibility and cell interaction can be improved. Switchable and responsive surfaces are

polymers and moieties that responsively alter their physico‐chemical characteristics, as a function of

in vivo environmental factors. These surfaces are strategically designed for a variety of biomedical

applications and the responsive or switchable concepts are applied on a broad‐range of biomaterials

to modulate their interaction with biomolecules and cells.

This book will highlight synthetic and biological materials that are responsive under different

stimuli, their surface design and modification techniques, and applicability in regenerative

medicine/tissue engineering, drug delivery, medical devices, biomedical diagnostics and bio‐

separation. The interaction of switchable surfaces with proteins and cells will also be addressed.

An up‐to‐date, state‐of‐the‐art review of the eco‐efficiency of masonry units, their design, performance and durability

A Volume in the Woodhead Publishing Series in Civil and Structural Engineering.

KEY FEATURES

Provides an authoritative guide to the eco‐efficiency of masonry units

Examines the reuse of waste materials

Covers a range of materials including, clay, cement, earth and pumice

DESCRIPTION

Masonry walls constitute the interface between the building’s interior and the outdoor

environment. Masonry walls are traditionally composed of fired‐clay bricks (solid or perforated) or

blocks (concrete or earth‐based), but in the past (and even in the present) they were often

associated as needing an extra special thermal and acoustical insulation layer. However, over more

recent years investigations on thermal and acoustical features has led to the development of new

improved bricks and blocks that no longer need these insulation layers. Traditional masonry units

(fired‐clay bricks, concrete or earth‐based blocks) that don’t offer improved performance in terms

of thermal and acoustical insulation are a symbol of a low‐technology past, that are far removed

from the demands of sustainable construction.

This book provides an up‐to‐date state‐of‐the‐art review on the eco‐efficiency of masonry units,

particular emphasis is placed on the design, properties, performance, durability and LCA of these

materials. Since masonry units are also an excellent way to reuse bulk industrial waste the book will

be important in the context of the Revised Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC which states

that the minimum reuse and recycling targets for construction and demolition waste (CDW) should

be at least 70% by 2020. On the 9th of March 2011 the European Union approved the Regulation

(EU) 305/2011, known as the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) and it will be enforced after

the 1st of July 2013. The future commercialization of construction materials in Europe makes their

environmental assessment mandatory meaning that more information related to the environmental

performance of building materials is much needed.

First lab‐scale to industry‐scale, end‐to‐end coverage of polymer clay nanocomposites processing

KEY FEATURES

Covers the whole processing route with all aspects of the nanocomposites industry with particular focus on the processing of polymer clay nanocomposites

Includes quality control and nanosafety

Multidisciplinary approach from an industrial perspective

DESCRIPTION

There is a major lack of fundamental knowledge and understanding on the interaction between a

filler and the polymer matrix. When it comes to nanoscale fillers, such as layered silicates, carbon

nanotubes, graphene or cellulose nanofibers it is even more important to know accurate structure‐

property relationships as well as identifying the parameters influencing material behavior.

The reason for the lack of knowledge on how to process nanocomposites and why there are so few

applications is that several scientific fields are affected and a joint effort of those scientific

communities involved is necessary – starting from the filler manufacturing or pre‐processing over

polymer chemistry to the polymer processing.

In Polymer Nanoclay Composites, all involved scientific areas are viewed together for the first time,

providing an all‐embracing coverage of all stages of polymer clay nanocomposites processing from

lab‐scale to industrial scale – stages from the raw material over manufacturing of polymer clay

nanocomposites to characterization and the final products.

Readers will gain insight in the physical/chemical pre‐processing of layered silicates and their

incorporation into a polymer matrix using sophisticated technologies (such as advanced

compounding) as well as in real‐time quality control of the nanocomposite production and future

prospects. The book also describes nanotoxicological and nanosafety aspects.

Coverage added on elements for hydrocarbons and chemicals with more than 200 real‐world cases included for practicality

Increased compound coverage from 41,000 to 54,000 total compounds to quickly access for everyday use

New functions added such as testing boiling point temperature and new data on density and refractory index

DESCRIPTION

Refineries and petrochemical engineers today are accepting more unconventional feedstocks such

as heavy oil and shale, causing unique challenges on the processing side of the business. To create

more reliable engineering design of process equipment for the petrochemical industry, petroleum

engineers and process managers are forced to study the physical properties and compounds of

these particular hydrocarbons. Instead of looking up each compound’s information, The Yaws

Handbook of Physical Properties for Hydrocarbons and Chemicals, Second Edition presents an

easy‐to‐use format with rapid access to search for the particular compound and understand all the

complex calculations in one tabular format. Understanding the composition of hydrocarbons is not

easy to calculate quickly or accurately, but this must‐have reference leads the engineer to better

estimated properties and fractions from easily measured components. Expanded to cover more

total compounds and relevant functions, The Yaws Handbook of Physical Properties for

Hydrocarbons and Chemicals, Second Edition remains a necessary reference tool for every

petrochemical and petroleum engineers’ library.

A comprehensive review of the state of the art in alkali‐activated binders, an alternative to Portland cement with higher durability and a lower CO2 footprint.

A Volume in the Woodhead Publishing Series in Civil and Structural Engineering.

KEY FEATURES

Reviews the chemistry, mix design, manufacture and properties of alkali‐activated cement‐based concrete binders

Considers performance in adverse environmental conditions.

Offers equal emphasis on the science behind the technology and its use in civil engineering.

DESCRIPTION

This book provides an updated state‐of‐the‐art review on new developments in alkali‐activation.

The main binder of concrete, Portland cement, represents almost 80% of the total CO2 emissions of

concrete which are about 6 to 7% of the Planet’s total CO2 emissions. This is particularly serious in

the current context of climate change and it could get even worse because the demand for Portland

cement is expected to increase by almost 200% by 2050 from 2010 levels, reaching 6000 million

tons/year. Alkali‐activated binders represent an alternative to Portland cement having higher

durability and a lower CO2 footprint.
