Handbook of Consumer Nanoproducts

This handbook provides a best study and practice guide to consumer nanoproducts (scientists, researchers, engineers, experts), and specialists. It captures all aspects of applications of nanotechnology in consumer products, like in healthcare and fitness, home and garden, automotive, appliances, coatings, electronics, foods & beverages, sporting goods, clothing, bikes, touch screens, and automobiles, etc. It is detailed reference material for both the research community and industry professionals wanting to learn about the concept of nanoproduct. Drawing on expert contributors from around the world, this volume provides academia and industry, a high-tech start-up that will revolutionize modern consumer nanoproducts practices. In addition, it also captures aspects of environmental, legal, health, and safety issues related to consumer nano products.

Prof. Shadpour Mallakpour, organic polymer chemist, graduated from chemistry department, University of Florida (UF), Gainesville, Florida, U.S.A. in 1984. He spent two years as post-doc at UF. He joint to the department of chemistry, Isfahan University of Technology (IUT), Iran, since 1986. He held several positions such as chairman of department of chemistry and deputy of research, department of chemistry at IUT. From 1994-1995 he worked as visiting professor, University of Mainz, Germany and from 2003-2004 as visiting professor, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, USA. Now he has published more than 890 journal papers and book chapters and more than 440 conference papers and got more than 40 items of awards. The most important award to him was given for the selection of first laureate on fundamental research, at 21^st Khwarizmi International award in 2008. He is listed as the Top 1% Scientists in Chemistry in ISI Essential Science Indicators Since 2003. He was selected as academic guest of the 59th Meeting of Nobel Prize Winners in Chemistry, 2009, at Lindau, Germany. He presented many lectures as invited or keynote speaker in different national and international conferences or universities. He was member of organizing and scientific committees for many national and international conferences. He was also the chairperson of many national and international meetings. In recent year he focused on the preparation and characterization of polymers containing chiral amino acid moieties under green conditions using ionic liquids and microwave irradiation as new technology and bringing these aspects towards nanotechnology for the preparation of novel chiral bionanocomposite polymers as well as polymer nanocomposities for hazardous materials removal technologies.
