Riassunto

Clay Nanoparticles: Properties and Applications sets out the major properties of clay nanoparticles and their technological applications. The first part of the book focuses on the characterization of nanoclays, including layered, fibrous and tubular clay minerals. The second part illustrates the current and potential applications of nanoclays within material science and biotechnology. These include the development of geopolymers and bionanocomposites based on sustainable polymers filled with ecocompatible nanoclay. The potential use of nanoclays as flame retardants is also discussed, along with the correlation between the properties and potential applications of several nanoclay types.

In particular, the applications explored include nanoclays as drug delivery systems and for environmental protection. The book provides a complete and multidisciplinary exploration of nanoclays, highlighting a range of perspectives within current nanotechnology research.

• Assesses the advantages of using nanoclays instead of conventional clay materials in product design
• Describes the major characterization techniques – both experimental and computational – for nanoclays
• Explores new fabrication techniques based on pristine and modified clay nanoparticles that are being used both in materials science and biotechnology

Informazioni sugli autori

Dr. Giuseppe Cavallaro is an Assistant Professor at Department of Physics and Chemistry “E. Segrè” of University of Palermo, Italy. He was a Research Associate at the Institute of Micromanifacturing, Louisiana Tech University, USA, and Institut fur Chemie, Technische Universitat Berlin, Germany. He is the author of more than 120 publications in peer reviewed international journals. He is Editor of the book “Clay Nanoparticles: Properties and Applications – 1st Edition” by Giuseppe Cavallaro, Rawil Fakhrullin, Pooria Pasbakhsh (Publisher: Elsevier). His research activity is mainly focused on the physico-chemical characterization of nano-organized systems based on nanoclays and organic macromolecules, such as biopolymers and surfactants.

Rawil F. Fakhrullin received his MSc from Kazan State University in 2003, later receiving a PhD in Biochemistry form Kazan State University (2006), and DSc in Microbiology from Kazan Federal University (2011). He also received an MSc degree in Chemistry with Nanotechnology from University of Hull, UK. He worked as a visiting scientist at the University of Hull (UK), University of Sheffield (UK) and Yeditepe University (Istanbul, Turkey). Currently, hProfessor, Bionanotechnology Lab, Institute of Fundamental Medicine and Biology, Kazan Federal University, Kazan, Republic of Tatarstan, Russian Federation . His research interests are focused on development of novel biomimetic materials (including functionalised cells), cell-based therapy, drug delivery, controllable assembly of living cells into multicellular clusters, fabrication of cell-based biosensors, and nanotoxicity.

Prof. Pooria holds a bachelor's degree in Materials Science and Engineering with a focus on Ceramics, a master’s degree in Metallurgy and Materials Selection, and a Ph.D. in Polymer Composites. With over 17 years of research, academic, and industrial experience, he has worked on numerous industrial, government-funded, and research projects in various countries, including Australia, Malaysia, Italy, the UK, Denmark, Singapore, and Iran. His areas of expertise included polymers, fibers, coatings, minerals, nanomaterials, biomedical applications, fuel cells, building materials, and composites. Throughout his career, he has held positions as an Associate Professor at Monash University Malaysia, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Adelaide, and a Technical Sales Specialist at Anton Paar Australia. Additionally, he has been recognized as one of the “World’s Top 2% Scientists” since 2020 for his research impact in the fields of “Materials,” “Polymers,” and “Chemistry,” according to data released by Stanford University and Elsevier.
