Polymer nanocomposites revolutionised the research in this field owing to the tremendous improvement in the composite properties at very low filler volume fraction. The surface modification of the filler, generally layered silicate montmorillonite clay,...

High-energy catalytic processes operated in fixed bed reactors are widely used in many fields of chemical engineering, so the improvement of specific intensities of such processes to minimise the equipment size and related capital cost, to enhance the...

Since the discovery of plastics several decades ago, the widespread consumption of plastic products and their subsequent inappropriate disposal and accumulation have recently generated new societal concerns of waste management due to their inherent slow...

The manufacturing and the application of organic dyes involve the production and the handling of many organic compounds hazardous to human health. Many of these substances are considered toxic, even carcinogenic. Over the past couple of decades,...

This book presents current research on thin films and coatings. The mechanical properties of films and coatings, which are highly affected by their microstructure and their adhesion to substrates, are reviewed. Furthermore, electronic semiconductor...

Mathematics is an effective tool to study and model the world in which we live. Schematically, a model is the representation of a system or a process obtained by substituting to the real phenomenon another one in a more familiar field through...
