This book reviews work that covers everything from basic chemistry to advanced applications. Chitin and chitosan are used in a plethora of applications from wastewater treatment to prosthetics.
After introducing the subject of polysaccharides as a whole, the authors turn to the preparation of chitin and chitosan and the characterization of the latter. The book provides information on chitin chemistry, extraction of chitin, chitosan preparation processes, and the applications of their derivatives in various fields. Among the applications that are included in detail are the adsorption of heavy metals for pollution prevention and clean-up, biosensors, cosmetics, various medical applications from anti-tumor activity to bone tissue engineering, agriculture and food production, and proton exchange membranes for fuel cells.
Chitin and Chitosan features:
. information on molecular structure, synthesis, properties, and latest research related to chitin and chitosan;
. coverage of a wide range of topics from the properties of chitosan to its derivatives and applications;
. in-depth information on biomedical applications of chitin and chitosan; and
. information that can be applied to other biopolymer processing engineering areas.
Professor emeritus Dabir S. Viswanath's research interests are polymer-ceramic composites, thermal degradation of polymers, thermodynamic properties of liquid mixtures, correlation of thermodynamic and transport properties, heterogeneous catalysis and materials. He received his Ph.D. from University of Rochester, and then taught as Texas A&M University and the Indian Institute of Science. He was a Professor at
Doctor Veera M. Boddu's technical expertise is evidenced by the array of research projects he leads. He has research expertise in environmental separations (biosorption and membrane separations), advanced oxidation processes for degradation of ordnance-related compounds using nanomaterials, and air emissions control from Army stationary sources. He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, a Fellow of the American Institute of Chemists, a Member of the American Chemical Society, a Board-Certified Environmental Engineer (BCEE) by the American Academy of Environmental Engineers. He is a Registered Professional Engineer in the state of Missouri. He received a distinguished achievement medal from the US department of the Army for Civilian Service in June 2004. He also received an ERDC Commanders Award for Civilian Service in May 2008 and Research of the Year at ERDC-CERL in December 2008.
Doctor Tushar K. Ghosh has been Professor in the Nuclear Engineering Program at MU since September, 2004. Following his graduation with a Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering in July 1989, from Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, OK, he worked at MU as a Research Assistant Professor in conjunction with the Chemical and Nuclear Engineering Departments and the Particulate Systems Research Center. He was responsible for building several pieces of equipment that are currently being used in the Indoor Air Research Laboratories. His present research interests include nanoparticle production/synthesis, aerosol mechanisms, adsorption on charged particles, sensors for chemical and biological agents.
