Advanced Polymer Nanocomposites: Science Technology and Applications presents a detailed review of new and emerging research outcomes from fundamental concepts that are relevant to science, technology and advanced applications. Sections cover key drivers such as the rising demand for lightweight and high strength automotive parts, the need for sustainable packaging materials and conservation of flavor in the food, drinks and beverages industries, and defense initiatives such as ballistic protection, fire retardation and electromagnetic shielding. With contributions from international authors working at the cutting-edge of research, this book will be an essential reference resource for materials scientists, chemists, manufacturers and polymer engineers.Through recent advances in nanotechnology, researchers can now manipulate atoms to create materials and products that are changing the way we live our lives. These materials have enhanced properties, such as tensile strength, impact and scratch resistance, electrical and thermal conductivity, thermal stability and fire resistance.

This book documents recent and historical events in the theoretically-based practice of peace development. Its diverse collection of essays describes different aspects of applied philosophy in peace action, commonly involving the contributors'' continual engagement in the field, while offering support and optimal responses to conflict and violence.

Negotiation is an important managerial skill. The ability to negotiate across cultures becomes even more challenging due to differences in institutional practices. This book explores how the institutional environment in India and China shapes their negotiating behaviour.

3D Printing for Biomedical Engineering: Additive Manufacturing Processes, Properties, and Applications combines cutting-edge research developments with fundamental concepts related to processing, properties, and applications of advanced additive manufacturing technology in the medical field. State-of-the-art 3D bioprinting techniques such as the manufacturing of mini-organs for new drug testing as an alternative to animal testing are covered, as are reverse engineering techniques for the improvement of additive manufactured biomedical products. The book starts with chapters introducing readers to currently available additive manufacturing techniques for biomedical prototypes, along with design, development, process, and parameter considerations for these methods.Following chapters cover the mechanical, thermal, electrical, and optical properties of 3D printed biomedical prototypes. The next section of the book discusses 3D printing in different biomedical fields, such as in heart surgery, intervertebral disc implants, dentistry, facial reconstructive surgery, oral surgery, spinal surgery, and more. The book concludes with a section outlining immediate and future challenges in the field as well as related environmental and ethical issues.

A reflection on the specific context of neoliberal capitalism and it's impact on education. The chapters establish the intersectionality of state, capital and education and engage with possibilities of transcending the onslaught of capital in different geographical locations – from the Northern Hemisphere to the Southern Hemisphere.
