Surfactants are often completely invisible to us and yet they are present in almost every chemical that we use in our daily life. They are found in toothpastes, cosmetics, sunscreens, mayonnaise, detergents, and an array of cleaning products. Traditional surfactants are known to have adverse environmental impacts spurring research into eco-friendly and cost-effective surfactants from renewable resources. Surfactants from Renewable Raw Materials examines the class of surfactants synthesized using plant-based raw materials detailing their properties, applications, bioavailability, and biodegradability. The concluding chapter reviews patent activity over the last decade.

Additional features include:

This comprehensive reference will prove indispensable for professional and academic researchers creating or working with bio-based surfactants.

Nanopesticides, Nanoherbicides, and Nanofertilizers: Formulations and Applications demonstrates the potential for nanomaterials to revolutionize modern agriculture to become more sustainable.

A team of expert scientists explain how the nanoformulation of traditionally used herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides can protect large-scale crops from unwanted weeds and pests as well as from the environmental side effects that are caused by the bulk application of chemicals. This book demonstrates how nanomaterials, such as hydroxyapatite, clay minerals, zeolites, and polyacrylic acid, have been successfully used to develop fertilizers that promote a slower release of chemicals due to the unique properties of nanomaterials. Their use in lower concentrations helps in decreasing the toxicity to non-targeted organisms as well as lowering the risk of environmental degradation.

FEATURES:

This book is essential reading for researchers and professionals working in the fields of biotechnology, nanomaterials and agricultural chemistry.

OILS AND FATS AS RAW MATERIALS FOR INDUSTRY

This new volume emphasizes the sources, structure, chemistry, treatment, modification, and potential applications for oils and fats as raw materials in industry.

Oils and fats can be used as raw materials in many industries including food and agriculture, as surfactants in laundry detergents and cosmetics, as well as in pharmaceuticals. Moreover, unsaturated vegetable oils are also suitable to form epoxides and hence, are important in the manufacturing of paints and adhesives. Limited sources of petrochemicals and their harmful effects on health and the environment also promote the use of naturally occurring oils and fats as biodiesel after some chemical modification. Moreover, a vast variety of nonedible oils that can be obtained from easily cultivable plant species are receiving great interest from researchers because they not only yield cost-effective products but are also proven as a substrate to promote sustainable research.

In this book, the editors will cover all possible industrial applications of the products that are formed using edible and non-edible vegetable oils. Vegetable oils are not a new research area, although they are considered an evergreen or long-lasting topic as most of the research in synthetic chemistry has been carried out on vegetable oils.
