Publisher's Synopsis
Advances in Aerogel Composites for Environmental Remediation presents both contextual information about
aerogels and details about their application in environmental remediation. A wide variety of aerogels are discussed, ranging
from common to advanced and from natural to synthetic. By exploring ongoing research and developments in the environmental
remediation technologies using aerogel and its composites, this book addresses common day-to-day environmental problems
and presents solutions to the use of aerogel materials. The chapters discuss fabrication of various aerogel composites, along
with their design and applications toward different environmental remediation technologies. Additionally, the properties and
advantages of aerogels are compared and contrasted to those of traditional materials.
Given the consistent increase in environmental pollution, there is an urgent need to explore new materials for advances in remediation
technology. Advances in Aerogel Composites for Environmental Remediation brings researchers and practitioners
in the fields of environmental remediation, environmental science, and engineering to the forefront of remediation technologies
with a thorough breakdown of the benefits of and techniques relevant to aerogel composites.
