Green Biorenewable Biocomposites From Knowledge to Industrial Applications

Green Biorenewable Biocomposites From Knowledge to Industrial Applications

Keeping in mind the advantages of bio-based materials this book focuses on the potential efficacy of different biocomposites procured from diverse natural resources and the preparation and processing of the biocomposites to be used for a variety of applications. Each chapter gives an overview on a particular biocomposite material and its processing and successful utilization for selected applications. The chapters summarize recently developed research on such topics as:• Spider silk biocomposites• Biogenic hydroxyapatite-based implant biocomposites• Liquid crystals and cellulose derivatives biocomposites• Bio-based epoxy resins• Bio-based polyphenols and lignocellulosic fibers• Wood-based biocomposites• Flame retardant biocomposites• Biocomposites for industrial noise control• Cellulose-based bionanocomposites Each individual chapter also focuses on the knowledge and understanding of the interfaces manifested in these biocomposites systems and the optimization of different parameters for novel properties. In addition to this the book also summarizes the recent developments made in the area of injection molding of biocomposites chemical functionalization of natural fibers processing of biocomposites and their applications in the automotive and biomedical industries. A number of critical issues and suggestions for future work are discussed underscoring the roles of researchers for the efficient development of biocomposite materials through value addition to enhance their use. | Green Biorenewable Biocomposites From Knowledge to Industrial Applications

Biocontrol Systems and Plant Physiology in Modern Agriculture Processes Strategies Innovations

Biocontrol Systems and Plant Physiology in Modern Agriculture Processes Strategies Innovations

Biocontrol Systems and Plant Physiology in Modern Agriculture: Processes Strategies Innovations focuses on new production alternatives that do not include pesticides herbicides or chemicals for primary food production and instead rely on biologically controlled systems of production. The book also relates a number of advances and innovations in the use of agricultural technologies that employ the study of the physiology of plants to know their resistance to different environments in modern agriculture. The book presents research offering viable alternatives for the control of pests for safe food production that are environmentally friendly and that facilitate the reduction of production costs and improve the quality and yield of produce. The volume addresses innovative biocontrol systems to reduce or eliminate the use of agrochemicals by controlling plant diseases by minimizing environmental damage through the use of antagonistic organisms. It also presents new strategies of cultivation that maximize production by optimizing light temperature humidity nutrients and humidity in a controlled environment. The diverse topics in the volume include botanical compounds as adjuvants as an alternative to reduce the pesticide use on-site production of bio-control agents plant factory systems that offer controlled safe environments for plant cultivation promising bio-nematicides for sustainable agriculture wastewater reclamation for agricultural purposes the recovery of phytochemicals from plants using LED lights on plants and microgreens production and much more. Covering the new trends in biological control plant factories and plant metabolism for application in modern agriculture this volume provides important research and knowledge that facilitates environmentally friendly plant systems advances the reduction of production costs and improves the quality and yield of produce. | Biocontrol Systems and Plant Physiology in Modern Agriculture Processes Strategies Innovations

Plant Pathogens Detection and Management for Sustainable Agriculture

Plant Pathogens Detection and Management for Sustainable Agriculture

Addressing the most critical issues in the management of emerging diseases throughout the world experts in plant pathology from internationally renowned institutes share their research and examine key literature. They look at both traditional pathology and advanced biotechnological and molecular diagnosis and integrated management practices. This book is divided into four parts covering viral and fungal disease detection and management nematode diseases and management bio-control and biotechnological approaches and impact of climate change. The authors look at the challenges of crop protection against diseases caused by plant pathogens for the most economically important crops. The establishment and management of plant diseases using conventional and eco-friendly methods are discussed with an emphasis on the use of beneficial microbes and modern biotechnological approaches. | Plant Pathogens Detection and Management for Sustainable Agriculture

Freshwater Pollution and Aquatic Ecosystems Environmental Impact and Sustainable Management

Freshwater Pollution and Aquatic Ecosystems Environmental Impact and Sustainable Management

This new volume addresses the environmental impacts of pollution on freshwater aquatic ecosystems and presents sustainable management and remediation practices and advanced technology help to address the different types of pollutants. Freshwater Pollution and Aquatic Ecosystems: Environmental Impact and Sustainable Management considers the need for sustainable efficient and cost-effective tools and technologies to assess monitor and properly manage the increasing issues of aquatic pollution. It provides detailed accounts of the phenomena and mechanisms related to aquatic pollution and highlights the problems and threats associated with pollution contamination in freshwater. It provides useful insight into the sustainable and advanced pollution remediation technology adopted by different countries for the monitoring assessment and sustainable management of pollution. The chapters in the volume evaluate the sources of harmful pollutants which include industrial effluents sewage and runoff from agricultural industries which result in toxic microbes organic waste oils and high load of nutrients. Unsustainable management practices of domestic sewage and indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides lead to the technological disturbance of aquatic biota. In addition to harming aquatic biota these pollutants find their way into the human body through inhalation ingestion or absorption and finally tend to bio-accumulate in trophic levels of the food chain which poses a major risk to human beings. This book will be a valuable resource for ecologists environmentalists scientists and many others for their work in understanding and management of aquatic pollutants in freshwater biospheres. | Freshwater Pollution and Aquatic Ecosystems Environmental Impact and Sustainable Management
