Nanomaterials for Electrochemical Sensing and Biosensing

Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan

Edited by

Carbon nanotubes offer huge potential in so many fields due in part to their significant mechanical properties, including extraordinary rigidity, resilience, toughness, and flexibility. Mechanical deformation of carbon nanotubes is known to cause considerable changes in their physical and chemical properties through the nontrivial structure–property correlation.

A strong understanding of their deformation mechanism and available geometry is, therefore, crucial to developing nanotube-based applications. This book concentrates on the remarkable mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes, covering theoretical and experimental progress from the last decade.

Georgia C. Papaefthymiou

Regenerative engineering is the intersection of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Regenerative medicine focuses on the biological aspects of tissue regeneration via stem cells, factors, and cytokines, while tissue engineering focuses on the integration of materials science and life sciences. This book integrates these two areas, presenting each concept in the framework of regenerative engineering. Through the combination of fundamental lecture-based teaching and problem-based learning approaches, it is the goal of this textbook to develop students into future researchers capable of completing the translation of their work from the benchtop to the bedside.

Villanova University, Pennsylvania, USA Series: Advances in Materials Science and Engineering

“The topics are very focused yet thorough. The theme of the book is simple and clear, which is the use of nanomaterials for various bio-applications, yet it is thorough in providing detailed discussion from the design and development stage of those nanomaterials to application. Important issues such as the toxicity of these materials are also presented. ... The book maintains a singular focus throughout, a highly advantageous facet not typically seen in other books.

The varied topics tie nanomaterials development closely with bioapplication in specific fields, including bioimaging, cancer therapy, and biosensing. Overall, this book was structured in a manner that it could be easily read by anyone interested in the subject, with specific references selected to provide further, more detailed insight into specific topics.”

Structural Materials Supplementary Cementing Materials in Concrete

FRP Deck and Steel Girder Bridge Systems

Michael Thomas

Julio F. Davalos

Supplementary cementing materials (SCMs), such as fly ash, slag, silica fume, and natural pozzolans, make a significant difference to the properties of concrete and improve its durability in aggressive environments, but they are rarely understood in any detail. This book covers the chemical, physical, and mineralogical properties of SCMs; their chemical reactions; and the resulting changes in the microstructure of concrete.

The City College of New York – CUNY, USA

The author links the properties of the material at the microstructural level with its behavior in laboratory tests, and, in turn, to the performance of the material in concrete structures under field exposure. He explains how SCMs influence the mechanical properties of concrete and improve its durability and also covers how various SCMs influence hydration reactions and the evolution of the pore structure and pore-solution composition.

Drawing on the author’s 30 years of experience, this book helps engineers and practitioners to optimize the use of supplementary cementing materials to improve concrete performance.

• Covers a range of topics from understanding the fundamental science behind using SCMs to practical examples of their use in real situations • Includes a wide range of studies that demonstrate the impact of SCMs on the temperature rise in concrete, the development of strength, and volume stability • Discusses the growing demand for concrete with increased level of SCMs to reduce the carbon footprint associated with portland cement Catalog no.

Working within these systems, understanding why they are important, and contributing to overall production safety and reliability are key responsibilities.

This book discusses the value of process safety management and why it is important for plant engineers.

The primary focus is on application of these systems: what must a plant engineer must understand about process safety to be safe, productive, and ultimately, effective.

Topics include understanding process hazards and events, the design and operation of your facility, what can go wrong and how to respond, making equipment and facility changes safely, maintaining reliable, safe equipment, and monitoring plant safety performance. The book also discusses how to develop expertise and what potential career opportunities may be available in the process safety field.
