Couverture de l’ouvrage Emerging Materials and Environment
This contributed volume presents chapters integrating experimental and computational advances in materials research and discusses how the potential release of emerging materials would impact the environment. With increasing populations, there is a growing pressure on resources and the environment to provide food, water, and energy. Innovative materials and novel technologies, such as nanocomposite and multifunctional materials, additive manufacturing, and remediation technologies, are constantly being developed to meet these demands. As technologies mature some potentially harmful materials will find their way into the environment. Depending on their environmental persistence, such as ?forever chemicals? per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), some of the emerging materials may become a major environmental challenge. This book covers a broad spectrum of topics related to the recent advances and future directions in emerging materials research, molecular simulations, machine learning and QSAR approaches for environmental contaminants, advanced materials for water purification, remediation technologies of PFAS, and life-cycle assessment of materials. It offers an invaluable resource for postgraduate students and researchers in academia, industry, and different laboratories interested in the field.
Emerging Materials and Environment: A Brief Introduction.- A Generalized Force-Modified Potential Energy Surface (G-FMPES) for Mechanochemical Simulations.- Chemometric Modeling of Emerging Materials for the Removal of Environmental Pollutants.- Ionic Liquids and Halloysite Nanotubes: Emerging Environmental chemicals of concern.- New frontiers for heterostructured nanocomposites with interfacial functionalities synthesized via laser ablation synthesis in solution (LASiS).- Recent mechanistic insights into some enzyme mimetic functions of ceria.- Emerging 2D Materials Based Nanoarchitecture for Water Purification.- Emergent Materials and Processes for Efficient Environmental Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances Containment.- Life Cycle Considerations for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) and the Evolution of Society’s Perspective on Their Usage
Dr. Manoj K. Shukla is a Senior Research Physical Scientist and Computational Chemistry Team Leader at the Environmental Laboratory, US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Vicksburg, Mississippi, USA. His research interests span a broad range of topics focusing on computational chemistry modeling and simulation of complex environments, fate, effects, and transport of environmental contaminants, multifunctional and nanocomposite materials, and soil modeling. Currently, he is developing technologies for the degradation, destruction, removal, isolation, and sensing of PFAS compounds from the environment. He is also developing technologies on the awareness of chemical hazards in the contested environment. He has published over 115 peer-reviewed research papers, 15 book chapters, has edited/coedited 10 books, and has presented at various conferences and symposia. He has been cited over 3000 times and carries an h-index of 31 and i10-index of 74 (Google Scholar).

Dr. Elizabeth Ferguson serves as an Army Senior Science Technical Manager and is the Lead Technical Director (TD) for the Installations and Operational Environments (IOE) Research and Development Area and Technical Director of the Military Materials in the Environment (MME) program at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Vicksburg, Mississippi. As Lead IOE TD, Elizabeth is responsible for programmatic direction of the research areas of adaptive and resilient infrastructure (the built environment) as well as the natural environment in environmental security and resiliency, environmental intelligence and understanding and managing military materials in the environment. Dr. Ferguson holds bachelor's degrees in chemistry and psychology (1991), master's degree in radio-analytical chemistry (1994), and Ph.D. (1998) in fish physiology and aquatic toxicology from the University of Kentucky. She has authored several peer-reviewed
