Advanced Materials for Agriculture, Food, and Environmental Safety [EPUB ebook] 

The book focuses on the role of advanced materials in the food,
water and environmental applications. The monitoring of
harmful organisms and toxicants in water, food and beverages is
mainly discussed in the respective chapters. The senior
contributors write on the following topics:

* Layered double hydroxides and environment

* Corrosion resistance of aluminium alloys of silanes

* New generation material for the removal of arsenic from
water

* Prediction and optimization of heavy clay products quality

* Enhancement of physical and mechanical properties of fiber

* Environment friendly acrylates latices

* Nanoparticles for trace analysis of toxins

* Recent development on gold nanomaterial as catalyst

* Nanosized metal oxide based adsorbents for heavy metal
removal

* Phytosynthesized transition metal nanoparticles- novel
functional agents for textiles

* Kinetics and equilibrium modeling

* Magnetic nanoparticles for heavy metal removal

* Potential applications of nanoparticles as antipathogens

* Gas barrier properties of biopolymer based nanocomposites:
Application in food packing

* Application of zero-valent iron nanoparticles for environmental
clean up

* Environmental application of novel Ti O2 nanoparticles

Mikael Syväjärvi received his Ph D degree in materials science from Linköping University, Sweden in 1999. His expertise is in materials growth and technologies of silicon carbide (Si C), graphene and related materials while his scientific focus area is material for energy and the environment. He initiated a European research collaboration in fluorescent and photovoltaic Si C, and has co-organized several symposiums at E-MRS. He has published more than 200 journal and conference papers. He is a co-inventor of The Cubic Sublimation Method for cubic Si C and the Fast Sublimation Growth Process that is applied for industrial development of fluorescent hexagonal Si C. He is also co-inventor of the High Temperature Graphene Process and a co-founder of Graphensic AB that manufactures and supplies graphene on Si C.
