Encyclopedia of Renewable and Sustainable Materials

Researchers, students and professionals in materials science and engineering increasingly face complex challenges around the development, selection and use of construction and manufacturing materials which have a less detrimental impact on the environment, both in the long and short term. This new Encyclopedia of Renewable and Sustainable Materials will provide a comprehensive overview, covering research and development on all aspects of the study of materials that are renewable, recyclable, and sustainable. The use of renewable and sustainable materials in areas such as building construction, the automotive sector, energy, textiles and others can create markets for agricultural products and additional revenue streams for farmers, as well as significantly reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, manufacturing energy requirements, manufacturing costs, and waste. Designed to be a comprehensive and versatile work which covers a broad range of topics not available elsewhere in one resourceArranged thematically for ease of navigationEach volume discusses key features on processing, use, application and environmental benefits of renewable and sustainable materialsContains special focus on sustainability leading to the reduction of carbon emissions and enhancing protection of the natural environment using sustainable materialsUses a holistic and interdisciplinary approach, making the content accessible and useful for researchers in a wide range of disciplines across the physical sciences INDICE: 1.
