Book Description

The book will present materials researchers and users with a wealth of new information covering the entire spectrum of ecology, eco-materials, nano-materials, bio-materials, recycling, environmental protection and energy conversion related materials. It is divided into seven sections: the first deals with photocatalysts for air pollution, water pollution, deodorizing, self-cleaning, power light sources, and the standardization of methodologies in photocatalytic reactivity. The second section covers the incorporation of end-of-life strategies into materials design as well as biomaterials. The third section covers the use of non-hazardous components as substitutes for traditional, but hazardous, components. The fourth section covers the treatment of waste materials, and the fifth section describes manufacturing via the using of more environmentally-friendly processing (eco-processing) and eco-materials design. The final section covers energy-related or energy-conversion related materials such as hydrogen-energy/fuel-cells and batteries. A book not to be missed.
