Handbook of Bionanocomposites
Meer oor hierdie e-boek
This book focuses on the fundamentals of bionanostructured materials and bionanocomposites. It deals with some recent developments in the synthesis and characterization of bionanomaterials as well as their incorporation into polymer matrixes. The biological applications of bionanomaterials are also discussed in detail, along with the synthesis of bionanostructured materials and bionanocomposites, reviews of food packing, water remediation, heavy metal ion adsorption from wastewaters, and other industrial applications. This book is aimed at beginners in this field as well as advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level students of materials science and researchers working in the fields of bionanocomposites, nanotechnology, and analytical chemistry, especially those with an interest in materials for analytical applications.

Suvardhan Kanchi
did his masters in applied chemistry and PhD in analytical chemistry from Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati, India, and spent one year as a postdoctoral fellow in the Material Science and Engineering Department at Feng Chia University, Taiwan, on the nanoconfinement of AuNPs and their characterization techniques. In 2012, he joined Durban University of Technology, South Africa, as a postdoctoral fellow, where he works as a research associate and lecturer. His current research involves methods of separating organic and inorganic molecules from environmental samples using capillary electrophoresis. He is also interested in the fabrication of electrochemical nano-/biosensors using bio-/nanocomposites for high-intensity artificial sweeteners, bisphenols, and dyes. He has coauthored approx. 55 research papers in peer-reviewed journals and has 8 book chapters and 2 books to his credit.
