What is expected of the chemical industry in the 21st century is to produce plastics while being aware of the environment, by reducing waste production, reducing the consumption of materials, reducing the demand for energy, reducing the use of non-renewable resources, and reducing risks, hazards and costs. The topics of this handbook try to answer these questions in a specific way by using simple rules of mixing. Polymer blending is a very useful and versatile strategy for the polymer chemist for designing new materials that potentially fulfill these new 'green' requirements. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis four volume handbook, Handbook of Polymer Blends and Composites is intended to provide an overview of the theory and application of polymer blends and composites. The first two volumes (of which this is the second) are concerned with the state-of-the-art of composites' development, characteristics of particulate fillers and fibre reinforcements and interface characteristics, main procedures of composites manufacture and their applications. The other two volumes are dedicated to polymer blends. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePractical and theoretical investigations are presented, which are aimed at generating an understanding of the fundamental nature of polymer mixtures and composites and describing progress in the thermodynamics of mixing (both in solution and solid state) of binary and multi-component systems. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will be useful to students, researchers, academics, and workers in the industry, who have an interest in polymer blends and composites.\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n1.

The basic idea of the workshop was to identify minerals and mineral objects that have or potentially have unique physical, chemical and structural properties that are of interest from the viewpoint of applied mineralogy and material science. The topics covered include: zeolites, their natural occurrence, properties and applications; microporous and mesoporous mineral phases; layered mineral structures and composites; natural nanostructures (nanotubes, nanoclusters, nanocomposites, photonic crystals); biological minerals and biocompatible materials; minerals as actinide host matrices and other aspects of interactions between mineralogy and material sciences.\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout Author\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSergey V.

The basic idea of the workshop was to identify minerals and mineral objects that have or potentially have unique physical, chemical and structural properties that are of interest from the viewpoint of applied mineralogy and material science. The topics covered include: zeolites, their natural occurrence, properties and applications; microporous and mesoporous mineral phases; layered mineral structures and composites; natural nanostructures (nanotubes, nanoclusters, nanocomposites, photonic crystals); biological minerals and biocompatible materials; minerals as actinide host matrices and other aspects of interactions between mineralogy and material sciences.\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout Author\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSergey V.

The book contains 9 chapters each devoted to essential aspects related to biodegradation and biostabilization.\u003cbr\u003eThe introductory chapter gives historical note on chronological developments in the field, presents classification of biocidal products, and defines essential terms which are frequently used in the subject of the book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMicroorganisms involved in biodegradation and biodeterioration of materials are presented within the framework of their classification, based on the most recent developments and agreements. Information on 13 groups of bacteria 7 groups of fungi, and 4 groups of protozoa are discussed in Chapter 2, which also contains discussion of major mechanisms of biodegradation and biodeterioration, including biofilm formation and its effects on biostabilization of materials.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3 is devoted to industrial biocides. It begins with discussion of mechanisms of biostabilization followed by discussion of types of biostabilizers. In this discussion, biocides are divided into 19 groups and properties of stabilizers for each group are given in the tabular form. Only stabilizers permitted for use in European Union and the USA are included in the discussion. The selection is based on the current in 2010 lists of approved substances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4 contains information on biodegradation, biodeterioration and biostabilization of industrial products. For each group of products, relevant microorganisms, essential product components, mechanisms of biodegradation and biodeterioration, results of biodeterioration, biostabilization, and used formulations are given. Twenty two groups of industrial products are included in evaluation. Also, 24 groups of polymers are discussed here in separate sections.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5 contains information on standard and other frequently used analytical methods in the field of the book. Chapter 6 contains evaluation of health and safety aspects of biocide application. Chapter 7 contains the most current information on environmental fate of biostabilizers, including their concentrations, toxicity, and the rates of decay. Discussion is based on the most current data (current decade) to give real picture of current situation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8 contains information on regulations developed in European Union, by world organizations, and in the USA to give a comprehensive background of legislative measures. The last chapter is on protection of workers who use biocides in their work.\u003cbr\u003eThis comprehensive source of fundamental information and data is based on thousands of papers, patents, and information from biocide manufacturers.

The book contains 9 chapters each devoted to essential aspects related to biodegradation and biostabilization.\u003cbr\u003eThe introductory chapter gives historical note on chronological developments in the field, presents classification of biocidal products, and defines essential terms which are frequently used in the subject of the book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMicroorganisms involved in biodegradation and biodeterioration of materials are presented within the framework of their classification, based on the most recent developments and agreements. Information on 13 groups of bacteria 7 groups of fungi, and 4 groups of protozoa are discussed in Chapter 2, which also contains discussion of major mechanisms of biodegradation and biodeterioration, including biofilm formation and its effects on biostabilization of materials.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3 is devoted to industrial biocides. It begins with discussion of mechanisms of biostabilization followed by discussion of types of biostabilizers. In this discussion, biocides are divided into 19 groups and properties of stabilizers for each group are given in the tabular form. Only stabilizers permitted for use in European Union and the USA are included in the discussion. The selection is based on the current in 2010 lists of approved substances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4 contains information on biodegradation, biodeterioration and biostabilization of industrial products. For each group of products, relevant microorganisms, essential product components, mechanisms of biodegradation and biodeterioration, results of biodeterioration, biostabilization, and used formulations are given. Twenty two groups of industrial products are included in evaluation. Also, 24 groups of polymers are discussed here in separate sections.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5 contains information on standard and other frequently used analytical methods in the field of the book. Chapter 6 contains evaluation of health and safety aspects of biocide application. Chapter 7 contains the most current information on environmental fate of biostabilizers, including their concentrations, toxicity, and the rates of decay. Discussion is based on the most current data (current decade) to give real picture of current situation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8 contains information on regulations developed in European Union, by world organizations, and in the USA to give a comprehensive background of legislative measures. The last chapter is on protection of workers who use biocides in their work.\u003cbr\u003eThis comprehensive source of fundamental information and data is based on thousands of papers, patents, and information from biocide manufacturers.

The discussion is based on the data to give a real picture of the current situation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10 contains information on regulations developed in European Union, by world organizations, and in the USA to give a comprehensive background of legislative measures. The last chapter is on the protection of workers who use biocides in their work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis comprehensive source of fundamental information and data is based on thousands of papers, patents, and information from biocide manufacturers. The above contents and the most-up-to-date information make this book essential for almost all the fields of applied chemistry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery drastic changes in biocides which can be used according to regulations make most of the very informative books published in past misleading because regulations eliminated many products, which they discuss.
