- Abstract
Nanocarbon polymer biocomposites have gained increased attention from both researchers and manufacturers due to the significant improvement in their physico-mechanical, thermal and barrier properties when compared to conventional materials. Their dimensions, biodegradable character, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability are among the main drivers for increasing demand. However, it is difficult to achieve uniform dispersion between the carbon filler and matrix as it easily forms agglomerations. Production of nanocarbon polymer biocomposites with high mechanical and thermal properties is also limited, but there has been rapid progress in processing possibilities to produce nanocomposites based on various biodegradable fillers. Advanced Nanocarbon Polymer Biocomposites: Sustainability Towards Zero Biowaste collects all these novel scientific findings in one place. It discusses in detail their physical, chemical, and electrical properties and presents the latest research findings on nanocarbon polymer biocomposites with filler loadings and their improvement on compatibility. The book will be of great interest for those researchers who are concerned with the production and use of nanocarbon polymer biocomposites as a new innovative advanced material. - Emphasis on nanoscale fillers and their improvement on compatibility - Evaluates the impact of polymer production through life cycle analysis of both single and hybrid polymers and nanocomposites - A strong focus on sustainability and green chemistry perspectives

- Abstract
The history and nature of artificial stone for use in architecture is a subject still shrouded in myth and misconception. This book aims to lay bare those misconceptions and present a scientific and architectural account of these materials, and especially Coade Stone, the most successful of all, which found great favour during the Georgian period. Many examples of Coade Stone cast sculpture still exist and several key examples are presented in context and as case studies. Eleanor Coade's artificial stone was so good that many observers could not distinguish it from the natural stone it replaced: the growth in replication of the neo-classical statuary and building adornment required in the late Georgian and Regency period was well satisfied by the use of Coade stone. A holistic evaluation of Coade stone artefacts is undertaken whereby the use of analytical data, historical documentation, invoices, company records, impressed marks and expert connoisseurship will establishthe attribution of Coade stone artefacts, some of which are currently in the unknown category. Several new scientific analyses are presented that demonstrate the true nature of high temperature fired ceramic Coade Stone and allow comparison with other forms of artificial stone, such as the cold cured cementitious variations, which eventually replaced it in the Victorian period.

- Abstract
Waste has become an emerging problem threatening the ecosystem, given the harmful content generated from the global afterlife of waste. These problems affect all spheres of life, and the waste must be controlled, managed, or converted to new products. The fundamental ways of addressing the increasing global flows of waste revealed through management processes have significantly increased business opportunities. Waste must be transformed into valuable products to reduce pollution, create jobs, and an environmentally pleasant atmosphere. Researchers have invented methods of converting waste into value-added products, aiming toward waste management and reduction. Despite considerable advances, the reuse and recycling of agricultural waste as biomass resources (renewable feedstock for renewable energy generation and specialty chemicals) from several natural sources are underutilized. This collection of essays discusses different biomass waste sources, biomass feedstocks characterization, pre-treatment and techniques for valorizing biomass to value-added products, and policies and regulations on the circular economy.

- Abstract
Construction is the means by which designing architects and engineers transforma design idea into built reality. It is from this perspective that the subject of'building construction design'is dealt with by the architect José Luis Moro inthree comprehensive volumes. Each is dedicated to the methodological,physical and functional fundamentals, the conception of a constructionalsolution, and finally its implementation in the constructional detail. Not only do the three volumes provide extensive content; they also ensure the greatest possible clarity in the text and graphics, in order to make it easier for learners to access the material. Importantly, they focus not only on conveying technical and scientific information, but also on demonstrating the complex relationships and interactions between design, material and construction. Great importance was attached to developing consistent, overarching and meaningful correlations between the numerous and highly diverse topics covered. After an introduction to planning theory topics, Volume 1 ('Fundamentals') addresses sustainability issues in the context of constructional design. This is followed by a discussion of the most important material-related considerations and their consequences for the constructional application of the materials. The range of currently available industrial building products is also presented. Furthermore, the essential requirements and functions that building structures must fulfill from a structural, building physics, building acoustics and fire protection perspective are examined. In closing, the book considers questions of durability.

- Abstract
The book describes the technique of electrochemical exfoliation, which possesses remarkable ability to bring about transformation. Among various known synthesis methods, the electrochemical exfoliation approach eliminates the use of harsh chemicals and energy-intensive methods commonly linked to the synthesis of graphene. Electrochemical exfoliation utilizes electrical energy to gently remove layers of graphene from its original source, providing a more environmentally friendly method. This precise and careful synchronization heralds a new era in the field of materials science, where the principles of sustainability converge with unmatched performance. Moreover, the benefits extend beyond environmental excellence. This book also examines the complexities of electrochemical exfoliation, highlighting its clear advantage over traditional techniques. The approach demonstrates process in manipulating the structure and properties of graphene, allowing for the customization of specific capabilities to suit a wide range of applications.
