Sustainable Utilization of Industrial Wastes as Reinforcement in Composite Materials

This book explores practical solutions for the reutilization, recycling, and disposal of industrial waste residues to foster sustainable development. It delves into both foundational concepts and recent advancements in the tribological applications of industrial waste residues as reinforcing phases in composite materials, with a focus on addressing the environmental impact of solid industrial waste. Additionally, the book highlights emerging themes such as decision-making algorithms, artificial intelligence, computational techniques, and machine learning in the context of industrial waste-reinforced composites.

Features:

• Provide up to date knowledge with current trends related to industrial waste management and their potential for utilization in composites.
• Emphasis on Industrial waste management laws and regulations, market dynamics, and new developments in waste reinforcement materials
• Includes ceramic matrix composites with industrial wastes as reinforcements
• Covers the broad application area of tribology by means of composite materials
• Discusses utilization of industrial wastes to strengthen biobased/bio-composites

This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in materials science and civil engineering.
