Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Material Weathering, Sixth Edition, is an essential guide to the effects of weathering on polymers and industrial products, presenting theory, stress factors, methods of weathering and testing and the effects of additives and environmental stress cracking. The book provides graphical illustrations and numerical data to examine the weathering of major polymers and industrial products, including mechanisms of degradation, effect of thermal processes, and characteristic changes in properties. The book also discusses recycling, corrosion and weathering, and the weathering of stone. This sixth edition updates this seminal work with recent developments and the latest data. Polymers and industrial plastics products are widely used in environments where they are vulnerable to the effects of weathering. Weathering stress factors can lead to deterioration or even complete failure. Material durability is therefore vital, and products for outdoor usage or actinic exposure are designed so that the effects of artificial and natural weathering are minimized. This book is an important reference source for those involved in studying material durability, producing materials for outdoor use and actinic exposure, research chemists in the photochemistry field, chemists and material scientists designing new materials, users of manufactured products, those who control the quality of manufactured products and students who want to apply their knowledge to real materials. - Offers detailed coverage of theory, stress factors and methods of weathering - Provides specific information and numerical data for 52 polymers and 42 groups of industrial products, including characteristic changes and degradation mechanisms - Discusses major additional topics, such as weathered materials for recycling and the interrelation between corrosion and weathering - Provides graphical illustrations and numerical data to examine the weathering of major polymers and industrial products

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nothing stays the same for ever. The environmental degradation and corrosion of materials is inevitable and affects most aspects of life. In industrial settings, this inescapable fact has very significant financial, safety and environmental implications. The Handbook of Environmental Degradation of Materials explains how to measure, analyse, and control environmental degradation for a wide range of industrial materials including metals, polymers, ceramics, concrete, wood and textiles exposed to environmental factors such as weather, seawater, and fire. Divided into sections which deal with analysis, types of degradation, protection and surface engineering respectively, the reader is introduced to the wide variety of environmental effects and what can be done to control them. The expert contributors to this book provide a wealth of insider knowledge and engineering knowhow, complementing their explanations and advice with Case Studies from areas such as pipelines, tankers, packaging and chemical processing equipment ensures that the reader understands the practical measures that can be put in place to save money, lives and the environment. The Handbook's broad scope introduces the reader to the effects of environmental degradation on a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, concrete,wood and textiles For each type of material, the book describes the kind of degradation that effects it and how best to protect it Case Studies show how organizations from small consulting firms to corporate giants design and manufacture products that are more resistant to environmental effects

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive examination of geoengineering with a special focus on the diverse, sometimes new technologies and their potential effects. In the age of advancing climate change, technological approaches to actively influence the climate are becoming increasingly important. From carbon capture and storage to solar radiation management, ocean fertilisation and other innovative methods, this book sheds light on the scientific principles and technical details of these processes. It analyses the opportunities that these technologies offer to slow down climate change and mitigate its consequences. At the same time, the risks and uncertainties associated with the application of large-scale geoengineering measures are discussed. Ethical, legal and social implications are taken into account, as are the challenges of global cooperation and public acceptance. Practical case studies and illustrative examples provide the reader with an insight into current developments and practical applications of geoengineering. Finally, an outlook is given on the future of these technologies and the possible scenarios for their integration into global climate policy are discussed. An indispensable work for anyone who wants to get to grips with the complex challenges and potential of geoengineering.
