Green Materials are materials that are understood to have at least one of the two following attributes: sustainability or low environmental impact. Optimally, they have these two labels simultaneously. Comprehensive Green Materials, 4 volume set, is the first fully-integrated resource to provide a full and comprehensive source of information and knowledge for both researchers and practitioners around the world on the fundamental, characteristics, applications, latest developments and case studies of Green Materials. Each in-depth review chapter is written by internationally recognized experts and contributions come from scientists working in a broad range of topics, including materials science, green energy, green industry and construction, engineering and green chemistry.
