A practical and hands-on discussion of fog harvesting based on bioinspired materials
In Bioinspired Materials for Fog Harvesting: Principles, Design, Preparation, and Applications, a team of distinguished researchers delivers an up-to-date discussion of the principles, design, preparation, and development prospects of bioinspired fog harvesting materials. The book explores the phenomenon of fog collecting in nature and analyzes the mechanism behind it.
The authors offer a detailed overview of contemporary bioinspired fog collecting materials. They explain the preparation of modern fog collectors and the potential applications of functional materials in practice, as well as the latest developments in a broad range of bioinspired and biomimetic materials for fog harvesting.
Readers will also find: - A thorough introduction to natural prototypes for bionic fog collection
- Comprehensive explorations of the basic theory of fog harvesting and atmospheric water harvesting
- Practical discussions of the micro-structures of fog harvesting materials
- Complete treatments of the preparation of fog collecting materials and the sustainable use of fog collectors
Perfect for materials scientists, surface chemists, physical chemists, and bioengineers, Bioinspired Materials for Fog Harvesting will also benefit biotechnologists, biochemists, and environmental chemists.
