Description

This book opens the "Smart Sustainable Materials Advancing Remanufacturing and Technology" series (World Sustainability Series) with a wide-ranging look at how materials science, nanotechnology, and manufacturing are being reworked around sustainability. Thirty chapters move from energy storage materials, shape-memory alloys, and biodegradable implants through to thermal spray coatings, solid-state batteries, and technologies for recycling and remanufacturing scrap into high-value raw material — anchored throughout in the "6R" framework: reuse, recycle, redesign, remanufacture, reduce, and recover.

Key Features

• Covers functional coatings and materials for energy storage devices — batteries, fuel cells, capacitors, and solar cells — directly relevant to renewable energy hardware design
• Details process optimization methods for transforming industrial scrap into high-value raw materials, applicable to circular-economy manufacturing programs
• Includes practical chapters on additive manufacturing (3D printing) of shape-memory alloys and biodegradable implants, bridging materials science with real production workflows

Coverage

Spans sustainable energy storage materials, additive manufacturing of shape-memory alloys, biodegradable implants for orthopaedic and dental use, high-entropy alloy coatings, bio-based polymers, polymeric metamaterials, thermal spray coatings, solid-state battery safety, and remanufacturing/resource-recovery technologies.
