"The environment, human health, and energy harvesting and storage remain strategic priorities in research. Multifunctional composite and hybrid materials have begun offering exciting solutions to each of these priority areas. Exploring this innovative field of research, this book covers a wide range of the materials, techniques, and approaches utilised in composite and hybrid structures. It will be of use for young scientists entering the fields of nanoscience, material sciences, and bioengineering, as well as experienced researchers looking for a review of new advances and patents in this field in recent years"-- Provided by publisher.
