 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Protective Packaging Development offers a comprehensive practical explanation of the methods needed to improve packaging design in multiple distribution environments. It combines a clear presentation of protective packaging basics with details on how to obtain and apply experimental data to the design of new packaging. In this context it covers the materials, testing, regulations and manufacturing of a wide range of product and shipping containers. Written by two of the most respected packaging authorities in the U.S., the book covers packaging mathematics and physics in a clear step-by-step way and shows with numerous real-world examples how these concepts are applied to design strategies. In this unique book students and professionals are given the testing and data information required for creating a wide range of protective packaging systems within numerous product categories such as electronics, healthcare, and food. Also covered are container requirements and tests for hazardous and regulated materials.

Protective Packaging for Distribution: Design and Development

Goodwin, Danial, Ph.D.

· Clear, one-semester introduction to mechanics of materials · Designed for students from a variety of engineering majors · Organized in modules, with many exercises and problems · Valuable aid for passing the MOM section of the FE exam -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This book offers a one-semester introduction to the mechanics of materials (MOM) for engineering students who are not mechanical engineering majors. While it follows the standard syllabus, the book divides the course into very short chapters or modules, which allows for variety of classroom and online instructional strategies geared to different student backgrounds. Each highly illustrated module provides a clear step-by-step explanation of basic concepts, requisite formulas and calculations, worked problems and exercises, as well as references.  While organized around a one-semester university syllabus, the problems and solutions in the book are also structured to help students prepare for the mechanics of materials section of the national Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam.

· New strategies for designing drug and nutrient delivery systems · Micellar and reverse micellar techniques for synthesizing nanocarriers and particles · Novel vehicles from lipids, biopolymers, gels, dendrimers and more · Methods for better solubility, penetration, absorption and bioavailability of bioactives
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beginning with the basics of surfactant chemistry and micellization, this book presents a range of nanotechnology strategies for controlling colloidal and polymeric structures for the solubilization and targeted delivery of food nutrients and pharmaceuticals. The book demonstrates how vehicles for delivering bioactive ingredients through a variety of oral, transdermal, buccal and mucosal routes, can be synthesized by nanolevel manipulation of colloidal systems, proteins, peptides, liquid crystalline phases, organogels and dendrimers. Special attention is given to the modification of mesophases in micellar and liquid crystal systems, which are shown to be productive templates and chemical nanoreactors for uniquely structured nanocarriers. The volume connects micro- and nanolevel modification of emulsion-based and biopolymeric systems, as well as the formation of new nanoparticles, to key properties of absorption, bioavailability and therapeutic effectiveness for dozens of well-known and experimental drugs, food nutrients and antimicrobials. Throughout, a stress is placed on chemical strategies for enhancing the efficiency of drug and nutrient carriers. The information presented in this book is applicable to the design of micro- and nanolevel delivery systems with improved targeting, more efficient controlled release, and superior in vivo penetration into dermal and cellular structures.

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This comprehensive book presents critical information on the applications of activated sludge for treating industrial wastewaters, as well as other effluents that impact POTWs. The book offers details on how advances in activated sludge can be deployed to meet more stringent discharge limits by explaining many novel variations of activated sludge and offering technical guidance on process modeling and optimization. Special attention is given to emerging contaminants and water reuse strategies. Case studies are drawn from the pharma, food and shale gas industries. Based on short courses taught by the authors, as well as hundreds of hours of in-plant consulting, this book offers the tools to understand and modify the activated sludge process for superior and sustainable wastewater treatment. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Activated Sludge Technologies for Treating Industrial Wastewaters: Design and Troubleshooting

Nature & Ecology

· Provides a unified and in-depth treatment of raw materials, web formation, bonding and melt-extrusion technologies · Includes background information on heat, heat transfer and polymer physics · Covers technologies that are proprietary, new or not widely known · Introduces the concept of integrative technologies to produce multi-functional products · Explains raw material properties and process parameter interactions · Designed as a textbook and professional book with problems and exercises The processing of nonwovens depends on a range of technologies, some adapted from the textile and paper industries, others developed uniquely for nonwovens production. The present volume provides a systematic step-by-step explanation of virtually all processes that integrate relevant raw materials into finished nonwovens for different end uses. In comprehensive terms, the book explains the connection between the structure of nonwovens and the specialized, as well as still evolving, technologies used to produce them from simple roll goods to nanoscale webs and fiberwebs. The unified treatment in the book is meant to serve the needs of engineering and technology students. For students and instructors, the text also offers reviews of basic chemistry, polymer physics and heat transfer concepts, which are linked to processing and design information. Problems and exercises are presented for classroom study and individual practice. The book can also be used profitably as a self-teaching tool by professionals working in or new to the nonwovens industry. From the Foreword by John Hearle "In comparison with other publications, the present book covers the great diversity of nonwovens and emphasizes how new types of nonwovens can be created through the use of novel fibres. This approach integrates many aspects of fibres and textile structures that are not associated with the conventional forms of nonwovens, which were established over the last fifty years. In this sense the book summarizes existing technical knowledge and suggests ways of going beyond it."
