    The Handbook of Natural Polymers: Sources, Synthesis, and Characterization is a comprehensive resource covering extraction and processing methods for polymers from natural sources, with an emphasis on the latest advances. The book begins by introducing the current state-of-the-art, challenges, and opportunities in natural polymers. This is followed by detailed coverage of extraction, synthesis, and characterization methods, organized by polymer type. Along with broad chapters discussing approaches to polysaccharide-based polymers, dedicated chapters offer in-depth information on nanocellulose, chitin and chitosan, gluten, alginate, natural rubber, gelatin, pectin, lignin, keratin, gutta percha, shellac, silk, wood, casein, albumin, collagen, hemicellulose, polyhydroxyalkanoate... zein, soya protein, and gum. The final chapters explore other key themes, including filler interactions and properties in natural polymer-based composites, biocompatibility and cytotoxicity, biodegradability, life cycle, and recycling. Throughout the book, information is supported by data, and guidance is offered regarding potential scale-up and industry factors. As part of a 3-volume handbook offering comprehensive coverage of natural polymers, this book will be of interest to all those looking to gain a broad knowledge of natural polymers, including academic researchers, scientists, advanced students, engineers, and R&D professionals from a range of disciplines and industries.

  • Advances in Diagnosis and Therapy of Pancreatic Cystic Neoplasms, An Issue of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 33-3
    • Tamas A Gonda
    • English
    In this issue of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, guest editor Dr. Tamas Gonda brings his considerable expertise to the topic of Advances in Diagnosis and Therapy of Pancreatic Cystic Neoplasms. Some estimates predict that over 2% of all patients 65 and older may have a pancreatic cyst and over 5% of those who undergo cross-sectional imaging will be found to have a cystic lesion. This issue provides an overview of current diagnostic approaches and emerging data on some of the novel imaging and biomarker strategies that improve accuracy. Top experts cover current guidelines for diagnosis and surveillance of pancreatic cystic lesions, high-risk individuals, the decision-making process, and much more.

  • Image Interpretation: Bones, Joints, and Fractures

    • 1st Edition
    • James Harcus + 1 more
    • English
    Interpreting X-ray images correctly is essential for diagnostic radiographers, as well as a widely used skill for emergency department doctors, nurse practitioners, and many other healthcare professions. This new title provides a systematic, methodical approach to musculoskeletal image interpretation and its role in the evaluation and treatment of injury.A companion to the eighth edition of Bones and Joints, this book covers the basic principles for interpreting images and then follows a simple regional approach to common radiographic projections. It goes on to consider common and important fracture patterns and other injuries related to that region, as well as the differences between normal and abnormal images.Image Interpretation is an ideal learning guide for undergraduates, those transitioning to graduate roles or clinical practice, and other healthcare professionals wanting to supplement their training.

  • Nanomaterial-Based Metal Organic Frameworks for Single Atom Catalysis

    • 1st Edition
    • Awais Ahmad + 4 more
    • English
    Nanomaterial-Based Metal Organic Frameworks for Single Atom Catalysis covers nanoparticles and their properties, including tunable pore size, efficient reacting capability, large surface area, and morphology, which make them effective catalytic agents. In addition, the book covers catalytic systems, in which nanomaterial-based metal organic frameworks can be applied efficiently as single atom catalysis to enable enhanced functionalities and activities of the reactions in various applications. This book is an important reference source that will be of use to materials scientists, engineers, chemists and chemical engineers who want to learn more about nanomaterials are being used for catalytic applications. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are hybrid organic–inorganic, porous, crystalline nanomaterials, and have aroused great attention in the field of catalysis because of their crystalized nano- (lt;2 nm) or meso- (2–50 nm) porous structure, extremely high surface area, and significant chemical diversity. This nanomaterial-based metal organic framework, as a single atom catalysis, enhances the catalytic ability of dispersed single atoms.
