Description
Book SynopsisHandbook of Self-Cleaning Surfaces and Materials The first truly comprehensive work on this rapidly developing field in two volumes
Self-cleaning surfaces are those that can be cleaned, for instance, by sun or rainwater, without human intervention. They are sometimes found in nature but developing man-made equivalents has been a major area of nanotechnology research in recent years. Self-cleaning tiles, glasses, paints, and textiles have been
developed to date, and the number of applications for this technology is growing.
Handbook of Self-Cleaning Surfaces and Materials provides a comprehensive overview of this field of study. It includes two volumes, with the first presenting the basic principles of the field and the second supplying specific examples and applications. It is a one-stop shop for anyone looking to familiarize themselves with this area of technological research, as well as for existing professionals who want a handy and thorough reference.
Readers of the Handbook of Self-Cleaning Surfaces and Materials will also find:
- An editor and contributor team with decades of experience in both academic and industrial research
- Detailed treatment of subjects including TiO2 photocatalysis, hydrophobic self-cleaning surfaces, and more
- Figures throughout illustrating important concepts and chemical formulas
Handbook of Self-Cleaning Surfaces and Materials is an essential resource for researchers and industry professionals in chemistry, surface physics, and materials science.
