Recycled Carbon Fiber for Composite Materials provides a critical review and the latest research results and applications of recycled carbon fiber composites materials in various sectors. The book discusses the different recycling processes of carbon fibers and their surface modifications. In recent years, there has been enormous research and commercialization with recycled carbon fiber composites materials, which has been published in several journal review papers and publications on industrial applications, but to date, there have been no books published focusing on recycled carbon fiber for composite materials in a systematic way. This book's chapters focus on the recycling processes, surface modification, composite types with different polymers, and various manufacturing processes and evaluates their properties.

Biomaterials in Immune Engineering

• 1st Edition

• Lance Kam
• English

Biomaterials in Immune Engineering covers biomaterial design as applied to immune-based applications, from reactive responses associated with cancer therapy to suppressive functions involved in autoimmunity. The role of the innate immune system in modulating host responses to biomaterials has been long recognized. In recent years, it has greatly expanded, leading to a dynamic community of investigators, adoption of engineering principles in immune-related fields, and establishment of formal immunoengineering programs across a range of academic and industrial environments. However, the wide range of disciplines from which immunoengineering emerged, as well as the large body of knowledge contained in each area, sets a daunting landscape for engaging new investigators.This book focuses on the intersection of these disciplines, providing a snapshot of the breadth, possibilities, and unifying principles of contemporary biomaterial design in immune engineering, particularly the adaptive immune response. Chapters collectively span biomaterial design as applied to immune-based applications, from reactive responses associated with cancer therapy to suppressive functions involved in autoimmunity. Material parameters such as chemistry, structure, and mechanics are covered. In addition, chapters that involve applications to specific diseases will include a perspective on how biomaterials approaches could improve the current standard of care. Biomaterials in Immune Engineering offers an comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to immune engineering materials, for researchers in materials science and biomedical engineering, as well as clinicians and those in health markets with an interest in immunology and cancer therapeutics.

Handbook of Biomaterials Biodegradability

• 1st Edition
• December 1, 2099
• Masoud Mozafari
• English

Handbook of Biomaterials Biodegradability comprehensively covers the properties and factors which affect degradation of a range of biomaterials. Long-term biocompatibility issues with existing permanent implants, combined with the emergence of novel biomedical technologies such as tissue engineering, controlled drug delivery and bionanotechnology, has resulted in an increased demand for biodegradable platform materials. Depending on the application, an implanted material may need to remain stable in the body for a long time, or conversely, be degraded and removed after a short period; therefore, control of degradation rate is essential. This book covers the various physical, mechanical and chemical properties which affect biodegradation, for a range of biomaterials, including bioactive glasses, nanoengineered biomaterials and biodegradable metals. The information provided allows readers to consider all factors and possibilities which may affect degradation rate of biomaterials, as well as the overall success of the implanted device or system. Applications covered include drug delivery, controlled release mechanisms, tissue engineering and more. Handbook of Biomaterials Biodegradability provides a single, comprehensive reference on understanding and development of controlled, biodegradable biomaterials for academics, researchers and industry R&D groups in the fields of biomaterials, biomedical engineering, regenerative medicine, pharmacology and related disciplines.

Solid-State Shear Pulverization

• 1st Edition
• December 1, 2099
• Katsuyuki Wakabayashi
• English

Solid-State Shear Pulverization: Chilled Extrusion Technique for Value-Added Plastics Processing and Polymer-Based Materials Development discusses solid-state shear pulverization (SSSP) and solid-state/melt extrusion (SSME), both unconventional polymer processing methods that are based on twin screw extrusion. The technology was originally employed to produce reduced particle size of polymeric materials, but recently has been successfully applied to mechanochemically modify plastics, fabricate polymer blends and nanocomposites on a commercially-scalable level.
