Advanced Materials for Agriculture, Food, and Environmental Safety

The book focuses on the role of advanced materials in the food,water and environmental applications. The monitoring ofharmful organisms and toxicants in water, food and beverages ismainly discussed in the respective chapters. The seniorcontributors write on the following topics: Layered double hydroxides and environment Corrosion resistance of aluminium alloys of silanes New generation material for the removal of arsenic fromwater Prediction and optimization of heavy clay products quality Enhancement of physical and mechanical properties of fiber Environment friendly acrylates latices Nanoparticles for trace analysis of toxins Recent development on gold nanomaterial as catalyst Nanosized metal oxide based adsorbents for heavy metalremoval Phytosynthesized transition metal nanoparticles- novelfunctional agents for textiles Kinetics and equilibrium modeling Magnetic nanoparticles for heavy metal removal Potential applications of nanoparticles as antipathogens Gas barrier properties of biopolymer based nanocomposites:Application in food packing Application of zero-valent iron nanoparticles for environmentalclean up Environmental application of novel TiO2 nanoparticles
