Biodegradation and Biodeterioration at the Nanoscale describes the biodegradation and biodeterioration of materials in the presence of nanomaterials. The book's chapters focus on the basic principles, action mechanisms and promising applications of advanced nanomaterials, along with their integration with biotechnological processes for controlled degradation and deterioration of materials. In addition, the current research indications, positive or negative environmental impacts, legislation and future directions are also discussed. This book is an important reference source for researchers, engineers and scientists working in environmental remediation, biotechnology, materials science, corrosion and nanotechnology. Provides detailed coverage on how nano-biomaterials degrade and deteriorate Compares how different types of bionanomaterials decompose Explains how the priorities of bionanomaterials affect their deterioration rate

This book covers the various aspects of MXenes nanomaterials and its composites from the fabrication to the potential applications in energy devices, sensors, and environmental remediation. MXenes are two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides and nitrides which contains novel combination of properties including great conductivity and mechanical, thermal features of transition metal carbide and nitrides. In addition, MXenes nanomaterials possess high surface area, novel morphology, and layered structure and the functionalized of its surfaces gives it excellent hydrophilic characteristics and high absorption of electromagnetic radiations making them versatile materials for various applications. The beginning part of the book gives an in-depth literature covering the fundamental principles, fabrication, self-assembling strategies of nano-engineered MXenes, and their composites materials. The later chapters describe the chemical functionalization of MXenes nanomaterials for diversified applications such as electromagnetic shielding, energy storage devices (super capacitors, lithium ion batteries, CO2 capture, optical switching, transistors), photo catalysis, drug delivery, implants, tissue engineering, water purification, and sensing applications. It demonstrates that MXene-based advanced architectures promote continuous innovations and provide driving force in different fields particularly in environmental remediation and energy storage devices. This book is essential reading for all chemists, biologists, physicists, and environmental scientists working in the field of nanotechnology, energy, and environmental chemistry. It helps academics and professionals to polish their knowledge with the latest described data. It also helps professionals in developing innovative technologies by keeping in mind the applications of functionalized nanostructured MXenes.

Handbook of Material Biodegradation, Biodeterioration, and Biostabilization, Second Edition gives extensive information on the microorganisms involved in the biodegradation of materials, along with the biocides which are permitted for use according to the most up-to-date worldwide legislation. Mechanisms of biodegradation and biodeterioration, results of biodeterioration, and methods of biostabilization are covered for a large number of products, making the title relevant for a range of industries and applications, including construction, coatings/paints, medical and pharmaceutical applications, and electronics. In addition, the health and safety aspects of biocide application are covered in detail, as well as the personal protection of practitioners who are required to use them. The contents and the most-up-to-date information make this book essential for almost all the fields of applied chemistry. Enables practitioners to identify the organisms responsible for biodeterioration in materials, select suitable preventative measures, and safely deploy methods of biostabilization Contains information on the biostabilization of various industrial products, including 24 groups of polymers Includes critical (and current) health and safety, environmental, and regulatory guidelines and best practices, and their relationships to legislation, regulation, toxicity, micro-organisms, biocides, and polymers Essential reading for scientists and practitioners as new regulations eliminate the use of previously used materials Contains up-to-date information on legislation and regulations governing the use of biocides in the European Union, the United States, and worldwide
