Senior Grade, Assistant Professor, Department of Chemistry, Anna
University, Chennai, India

his new book focuses on eco-friendly nanohybrids. It clearly

summarizes the fundamentals and established techniques of
synthesis and processing of eco-friendly nanohybrid materials to
provide a systematic and coherent picture of synthesis and the
processing of nanomaterials.
The research on nanotechnology is evolving and expanding very
rapidly. Nanotechnology represents an emerging technology that
has the potential to have an impact on an incredibly wide number
of industries, such as the medical, the environmental, and the
pharmaceutical industries. There is a growing need to develop
environmentally friendly processes for corrosion control that do
not employ toxic chemicals. This book helps to fill this need.
This volume is a comprehensive compilation of several trending
research topics, such as fouling, energy-storing devices, water
treatment, corrosion, biomaterials, and high performance
materials. The topics are approached in an encompassing manner,
covering the basics and the current trends in this area, clearly
defining the problems and suggesting potential solutions.
Topics in the book include:

Synthesis of complex polymer intermediates

Synthesis of nanoparticles and nanofibers

Binding interaction between nano- and micromaterials

Fabrication of polymer nanocomposites

Making of functionally terminated nanohybrid coatings

Development of corrosion resistant coatings

Antifouling coatings

Bioceramic materials

Materials for therapeutic and aesthetic applications

ABOUT THE EDITOR

Srinivasan Ananda Kumar, PhD, is a Professor of Chemistry at the
Anna University, Chennai, India. He is a recipient of the Erasmus
Mundus External Cooperation Window (European Commission)
Visiting Research Fellowship. As a member of staff at Anna University,
he has supervised more than 45 postgraduate students (MSc and
MTech) and several MPhil and PhD students, reviewing, evaluating,
and validating experimental data resulted from their project/PhD
work. Dr. Kumar won the Active Researcher Award of Anna University
for the year 2014 for his outstanding contribution to the field of nanohybrid coatings and composites. His research team were runners up
for the National Award for research on petrochemicals and
downstream plastic processing from the Central Ministry, Government
of India, in February 2015. The author over 40 scientific papers in
international journals and several book chapters, Dr. Kumar has
developed many technologies for the prevention and remediation of
corrosion, fouling, and flame.
Dr. Kumars research accomplishments include the synthesis and
characterization of phosphorus containing epoxy and siliconized epoxy
coatings and nanocomposites as having superior properties. His
current research topics comprise a variety of novel organic-inorganic
hybrid POSS-epoxy and nano-hybrid coatings and nanocomposite with
anticorrosive and anti-bacterial properties.
