Nanocomposites for Membranes and Environmental Remediation Applications systematically covers the theoretical foundations and chemistry of nanomaterials, both synthetic and naturally sourced. It explores the myriad of nanomaterials sources currently available, their processing techniques, including modification and synthesis, and their performance as composites used in structural components and membranes for sustainable applications. The book also presents a series of captivating case studies, which encompass the concept generation, materials selection, methodology, characterization, and promising performance of nanocomposites in the context of environmental remediation. Furthermore, the book addresses the distinct characteristics of various nanomaterial resources and discusses their impact on product development. The book then concludes by addressing the challenges, environmental concerns, and future perspectives for nanomaterial-based composites. The book will be a valuable reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, postgraduate students, design practitioners, and engineers who are working in both private and public sector organizations, and policymakers who aspire to shape sustainable products in the future.
