His research interests include both theoretical and experimental understanding of nanoparticles for solar cells, fuel cells, supercapacitors, and biodiesel production; laminate and sandwich composites for aircraft and wind turbine manufacturing; functionalization and crosslinking of CNT wires; modeling and simulation of solid structures; highly durable nanocomposite thin films for lightning strike prevention, EMI shielding and fire retardancy; electrospun nanofibers for scaffolding, biosensors, structural health monitoring and water splitting; nanocomposite coatings against corrosion, moisture and UV degradation; nanomembranes for waste water filtration; and nanoemulsion and hydrogel-based targeted drug delivery systems.

Dr. Ramazan Asmatulu received his Ph.D. degree from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Virginia Tech in 2001 and had postdoc experiences at the University of Connecticut and Yale University. He joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Wichita State University as an assistant professor in 2006 and became an associate professor in 2012 and full professor in 2017 in the same department. Throughout his studies, he has published 152 journal papers and 236 conference proceedings, edited/authored four books, authored 37 book chapters and three laboratory manuals, received 14 patents and 40 honors/awards,presented 123 presentations, chaired many international conferences and reviewed several manuscripts in international journals and conference proceedings. 15 PhD, 114 MS and 62 BS students have already graduated under his supervision and started
working worldwide.

Description

Recycling and Reusing of Engineering Materials: Recycling for Sustainable Developments covers the latest research and developments in recycling and reusing processes, including new fundamental concepts, techniques, methods and process flows. The book provides applications of these novel technologies to recycling processes and analyzes new and modern ways of recycling techniques. It provides a comprehensive literature review on fundamental aspects of recycling processes, recycling goals, characterization of waste streams, legislative policies and evaluation, electronic recycling, aircraft recycling, recycling processes, energy savings and issues, environmental issues, societal issues, recycled materials, market development for recycling, processing facilities, and awareness and importance of recycling safety.

The book is an indispensable reference for researchers in academia and industry. Scientists can use this book for literature reviews and experimental details, and the industry can use its comprehensive detail for literature reviews and to upgrade their processes and systems.
