Book Biogenic Nanomaterials for Environmental Sustainability  Principles  Practices  and Opportunities

Download or read book Biogenic Nanomaterials for Environmental Sustainability Principles Practices and Opportunities written by Maulin P. Shah and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-03 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental pollution is a worldwide concern now. A major section of the world population is struggling for drinking water. Polluted soil is resulting into low agricultural productivity and thus creating challenges in the way of sustainable livelihood of a large section of human population. Biological treatment can offer both green solutions for wastewater treatment and resource recovery as well. Like algal-based systems can be utilized for wastewater treatment and production of biofuels from the biomass grown on the wastewater. Bio-based nanomaterials have been extensively studied for their employability in the health care, process optimization, water resource management, dealing with environmental pollutants, biosensors, and many others. Bioprospecting of novel biological agents, bio-based products, and bioresource recovery are paving the way for sustainable development as they are providing local solutions for a number of problems. In this proposed book, we start with the introduction to bio-nanotechnological principles and later on discuss bio-based nanomaterials employability for a diverse range of applications from environment to energy to health care. This book provides with current trends in bio-nanotechnology for anthropogonic purposes, prospects, challenges, and way forward.

Book Continuous Processing of Polymeric Micelles

Download or read book Continuous Processing of Polymeric Micelles written by Anand Gupta and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polymeric micelles are nano-particulate core-shell structures that form spontaneously in aqueous solutions of block copolymers composed of hydrophilic and hydrophobic portions when their concentration surpasses the critical micelle concentration (CMC) at a given temperature. They are used as drug delivery systems for highly potent and extremely hydrophobic drugs such as anticancer or anti-inflammatory agents to enhance safety, efficacy, and solubility. Critical quality attributes of polymeric micelles, that tend to govern their destiny in the human body are their size and polydispersity. Ensuring manufacturing consistency for complex drug products such as polymeric nanoparticles is challenging. This can be attributed, in part, to the complex nature of the manufacturing processes and a lack of understanding of critical material attributes such as drug-polymer interactions and critical process parameters such as organic to aqueous phase ratios. Currently, the manufacturing of polymeric micelles in the pharmaceutical industry is via batch processing which has various disadvantages such as scalability, irreproducibility, down-time between batches and other issues leading to product waste, and increased expenses. To overcome potential batch-to-batch variation typically observed using traditional batch manufacturing processes, the current work focused on continuous processing of polymeric micelles and the establishment and assessment of key material attributes and process parameters. A modified continuous processing platform (based on the University of Connecticut prototype liposomal manufacturing platform) was successfully developed and built to produce polymeric micelles. Moreover, this study outlines the relationship between critical independent variables (such as polymer concentration, organic to aqueous flow rate ratios and temperature) and critical quality attributes (such as the size and polydispersity) of polymeric micelles produced by continuous processing. The controlled nanoprecipitation process achieved via co-axial co-flow and radial mixing of jets improved the control and reproducibility of polymeric micelle particle size and polydispersity compared to batch processing. Multiple design of experiments studies were implemented to produce polymeric micelles with controlled size in the range between 15 and 70 nm. Four different molecular weight block copolymers (i.e. PEG-PLA-4kD, and PEG-PCL 7kD, 14kD and 28kD) were investigated to produce polymeric micelles using the turbulent jet co-flow technology. Moreover, curcumin-loaded polymeric micelles, as an example of an API containing polymeric micelles, were produced to establish and validate the continuous processing system. Paclitaxel-loaded polymeric micelles were produced to demonstrate the system's capacity to produce Q1/Q2 equivalent drug product similar to the reference listed drug product: Genexol®PM.

Book Compendium of Polymer Terminology and Nomenclature

Download or read book Compendium of Polymer Terminology and Nomenclature written by Richard G Jones and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2009-01-19 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The IUPAC system of polymer nomenclature has aided the generation of unambiguous names that re ect the historical development of chemistry. However, the explosion in the circulation of information and the globalization of human activities mean that it is now necessary to have a common language for use in legal situations, patents, export-import regulations, and environmental health and safety information. Rather than recommending a ‘unique name’ for each structure, rules have been developed for assigning ‘preferred IUPAC names’, while continuing to allow alternatives in order to preserve the diversity and adaptability of nomenclature. Compendium of Polymer Terminology and Nomenclature is the only publication to collect the most important work on this subject into a single volume. It serves as a handy compendium for scientists and removes the need for time consuming literature searches. One of a series issued by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), it covers the terminology used in many and varied aspects of polymer science as well as the nomenclature of several di erent types of polymer including regular and irregular single-strand organic polymers, copolymers and regular double-strand (ladder and spiro) organic polymers.
