Handbook of Sustainable Materials presents recent developments in sustainable materials and how these materials interact with the environment. It highlights the recent advancements involved in proper utilization of sustainable materials, including chemical and biological approaches. With chapters written by global experts, the book offers a guide and insights into sustainable materials from a variety of engineering disciplines. Each chapter provides in-depth technical information on the sustainable materials theory and explores synthesis strategies, green materials, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The book considers applications in sectors such as aerospace, automobile, and biomedical for rapid prototyping and customized production without negative environmental impacts. It features research outcomes and case studies of optimization and modeling techniques in practice.

Sustainable materials are the materials used throughout our consumer and industrial economy that can be produced in required volumes without depleting nonrenewable resources and without disrupting the established steady-state equilibrium of the environment and key natural resource systems. The detailed description of various sustainable materials like polymers, metals, ceramics, composites, biomaterials, biodegradable materials, smart materials, functionally graded materials and sustainable novel materials etc. is included in this book. The subterranean details like sustainable material characterization techniques, modeling of materials, role of Artificial Intelligence, Industry 4.0, nature inspired algorithms and optimization possibilities, and various computational and simulation approaches to maintaining the sustainability of materials are covered in this book. In addition to this, various case studies of sustainable materials, especially related to medical, environmental, production/mechanical, and civil engineering, are covered to help the undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as research scholars. This compilation will bring to its readers the latest developments/advancements in sustainable materials, which is currently not available at one place. This book will bridge the gap between R&D in sustainable materials and professionals.
