Functional Materials for Environmental Applications was compiled by a group of qualified researchers and academics with a proven record of success in various research domains, particularly in this area. In nine (9) chapters, the fundamental data and knowledge are presented on diverse functional materials, including computational and experimental studies for various environmental applications. Considering numerous pollution control applications, various material types have also been documented.

It is a highly inventive and promising new method to satisfy society’s expanding demands for water resources and pollution cleanup. These materials with surfaces that may reversibly adapt to stimuli from internal and external environments by changing their properties show enormous promise as global environmental solutions. Such systems, which utilise complex material interactions to adapt to their surroundings, impact many of these functional materials.

Current and upcoming applications are discussed, including carbon dioxide’s photoreduction into methanol, removing heavy metals and sulphur pollutants, and demulsifying crude oil in water emulsion. The chapter also covered employing the RSM-CCD methodology, which explains and describes studies on the technique’s optimisation.

Hence, the comprehensive contents serve as a great information source for the Environmental, materials, computational, and nano-scientists who are interested in functional material environmental applications.
