Book Description

This book discusses the development, characterization, and applications of nanocomposites, which are advanced materials obtained through the combination of two or more constituents, with one being a continuous phase (matrix) and the other being a discontinuous or dispersed nanophase. Nanocomposites have gained significant attention due to their excellent properties and multiple applications, resulting from synergistic effects between the matrix and reinforced nanophase. Nanocomposites offer advantages over individual nanoparticles in tailoring properties, enhancing stability, and optimizing performance for specific applications. This book emphasizes the vast potential of nanocomposites in various areas, including water treatment, food packaging, automotive compounds, biomedical devices, coatings, sensors, pharmaceuticals, and fuel cells, among others. The properties of nanocomposites are highly dependent on their structure and dimensions, and further research is needed to better understand the structure-property relationship in these systems. The book includes sixteen chapters organized into four sections: “Carbon-Based Nanocomposites”, “Inorganic Nanoparticles-Based Nanocomposites”, “Nanocomposites for Environmental Applications”, and “Nanocomposites for Biomedical Applications”.

Book Description

In the rapidly evolving landscape of Industry 4.0, integrating digital technologies into supply chain management (SCM) presents opportunities and challenges. While Industry 4.0 promises increased efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness, its impact on sustainability within SCM remains a pressing concern. Existing literature often needs to look more into the holistic integration of Industry 4.0 technologies with sustainable practices in SCM, leaving a critical gap in understanding and implementation. This gap not only inhibits the realization of sustainable performance but also hinders firms from aligning with global sustainability agendas such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG) 2030. Digital Transformation for Improved Industry and Supply Chain Performance offers a comprehensive solution by examining the integration of Industry 4.0 technology and SCM sustainability. It addresses the urgent need for firms to undergo digital transformation to achieve sustainable performance. It provides insights into how Industry 4.0 technologies can be strategically leveraged to promote sustainability in SCM operations. Through in-depth analysis of critical topics such as cybersecurity, resilience, circular economy practices, and ethical considerations, this book equips readers with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the complexities of Industry 4.0-enabled SCM sustainability.
