Book excerpt: Due to legal and consumer demands, eco-friendly resources that comply with environmental concerns while maintaining or improving performance are highly sought amongst manufacturers. Green materials are a specific material that are widely found in many product markets and are popular choices as alternative materials due to their recyclable, reusable, highly available, and corrosion-resistant features. These materials positively impact the environment through fewer emissions during the production process, positive carbon credits and energy recovery from incineration, and lower global warming effect. Extensive research is required to understand the full potential of these eco-friendly substances. Implementation and Evaluation of Green Materials in Technology Development: Emerging Research and Opportunities provides emerging research exploring the theoretical and practical aspects of environmentally friendly resources and applications within technology. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as life cycle analysis, nanomaterials, and environment management, this book is ideally designed for manufacturers, engineers, product developers, industrial practitioners, policymakers, researchers, academicians, students, and business and marketing associates seeking current research on the advancements and applications of green materials in future technology.

Download or read book Nano-Phytoremediation Technologies for Groundwater Contaminates: Emerging Research and Opportunities written by Chaudhary, Khushboo and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2019-10-04 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the modern world, industries and factories are rising exponentially. This has led to the mass cultivation of non-biodegradable products, like heavy metals, that have polluted the environment and become a major threat to plant growth, crop yield, and human health. Conventional remediation technologies are expensive and may not remove contaminates effectively. Therefore, it is important to develop economically practical and more effective methods to decontaminate soils. Nano-Phytoremediation Technologies for Groundwater Contaminates: Emerging Research and Opportunities is a collection of innovative research on the methods and applications of the use of plants for remediating metal-contaminated soil and water. While highlighting topics including molecular mechanisms, nutrient interference, and fluoride accumulation, this book is ideally designed for environmental scientists, environmental engineers, agriculturalists, farmers, policymakers, government officials, research scholars, professors, and students studying in the fields of environmental engineering, biotechnology, nano-technology, bioscience, and environmental science.

Download or read book Inspiration and Design for Bio-Inspired Surfaces in Tribology: Emerging Research and Opportunities written by Abdel-Aal, Hisham and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2020-07-03 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surface texturing has been recognized as a method for enhancing the tribological properties of surfaces for many years. Adding a controlled texture to one of two faces in relative motion can have many positive effects, such as reduction of friction and wear and increase in load capacity. To date, the true potential of texturing has not been realized due to the severe lack of detailed information about the mechanistic functional details of texturing in a tribological situation. Inspiration and Design for Bio-Inspired Surfaces in Tribology: Emerging Research and Opportunities is a pivotal reference source that focuses on surface engineering techniques to mimic biological materials. Highlighting a broad range of topics including bio-mimetics, contact analysis, and thermodynamics, this book is ideally designed for engineers, environmentalists, academicians, researchers, and students.

Download or read book Handbook of Research on Agricultural Policy, Rural Development, and Entrepreneurship in Contemporary Economies written by Jean Vasile, Andrei and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2019-11-29 with total page 573 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Promoting rural entrepreneurship is a necessary step to limit the negative effects of classical agricultural policy based on a linear process and attracting secondary resources to the economic process. The analysis of agricultural policy and rural development in conjunction to entrepreneurship in terms of production may represent a further step in understanding the role and importance of diversifying the rural potentials in contemporary economies. The Handbook of Research on Agricultural Policy, Rural Development, and Entrepreneurship in Contemporary Economies is an essential publication of academic research that examines agricultural policy and its impact on shaping future resilient economy in rural areas and identifies green business models and new business patterns in rural communities. Covering a range of topics such as entrepreneurship, product management, and marketing, this book is ideal for researchers, policymakers, academicians, economists, agriculture professionals, rural developers, business investors, and students.
