Advanced Materials from Recycled Waste examines the structural components of waste and looks at how best to transform those waste materials into advanced materials that can be utilized for high-end applications. The book is broken up into four sections. The first section explores what is meant by Waste – looking at what are the sources, types of waste, and the management techniques. This is followed by three sections dealing with specific types of waste materials: Industrial, Agricultural, and Plastics/Polymers. The classification, characterization, utilization of, physical and mechanical properties, and design and development are explored for each of these materials. Each section concludes with a review of the challenges and future prospects for their utilization. This book will be a vital resource for a broad audience interested in the reuse of waste materials including materials scientists and materials engineers in industry involved in the recycling, reuse and reclamation of materials and industrial byproducts, and some more general environmental scientists and engineers involved in sustainable development. Focused upon various types of waste, their sources and compounds Outlines the chemical constituents and mineralogical phases present in waste which could be exploited to design and develop advanced materials Takes a multidisciplinary approach to the management of waste Presents the bulk utilization of current waste application technologies to enable the implementation of newer strategies to produce various other materials useful for a broad application spectrum
