Neutron and synchrotron facilities, which are beyond the scale of the laboratory, and supported on a national level in countries throughout the world.  These tools for probing micro- and nano-structure research and on fast dynamics research of atomic location in materials have been key in the development of new polymer-based materials. Different from several existing professional books on neutron science, this book focuses on theory, instrumentation, an applications. The book is divided into five parts:Part 1 describes the underlying theory of neutron scattering.Part 2 describes the various instruments that exist and the various techniques used to achieve neutron scattering or bombardment.Part 3 discusses data treatment and simulation methods as well as how to assess the environment of the sample (temperature, pressure, shear, and external fields).Part 4 addresses the myriad applications of small and large molecules, biomolecules, and gels.Part 5 describes the various global neutron sources that exist and provides an overview of the different reactors.

In today's world, where achieving carbon neutrality and being microplastic-free is imperative, the pursuit of renewable and sustainable materials has become essential. Cellulose nanomaterials (CNs), including cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), are nanoscaled materials derived from industrial cellulose fibers (such as paper and dissolving pulps), abundant plants, and other cellulose resources. They are typically produced in water, with or without pretreatment, through downsizing or mechanical fibrillation. CNs retain their original crystal structures, which confer high mechanical strengths and thermal stabilities. In addition, they provide abundant reaction sites for further functionalization, enabling the incorporation of unique properties, such as catalytic activities, anti-microbial effects, hydrophobicity, water resistance, and gas-barrier performance, as well as electronic and thermal functionalities. Thus, CNs represent promising bio-nanomaterials that are biocompatible, biodegradable, sustainable, and renewable. They are abundantly produced by plants through biosynthesis, utilizing atmospheric CO2 and water as primary resources. This book provides a comprehensive overview of CNs, covering their history, chemical structures, morphologies, characteristics, and applications. CNs are expected to be used in food and daily necessities as well as medical, luminescent, electronic, and electrical materials. The book serves as a comprehensive resource not only for university students and researchers, but also for companies and their affiliated engineers as well as for anyone interested in advancing research and developing practical applications of CNs.

Skin bioscience is a core part of dermatology and brings important guiding principles to skin care and dermatological therapy. Although the investigation of human skin bioscience is not necessarily easy because of the limitations on the use of native human skin, many academic scientists and industrial engineers have been involved in this labored research with their creative ingenuity. In Skin Bioscience: A Molecular Approach, skin bioscience is introduced with a specific focus on the molecular approach. Following the description of the fundamental structure and unique functionality of the skin, the response of the skin to exterior stimulation is described. Furthermore, attention is paid to the beautification and regeneration of the skin. This book provides readers with the molecular knowledge of the skin and stimulates their interest in further investigation and development of skin bioscience.
