Engineering polymers are materials with superior structure–property correlations. They have exceptional mechanical properties such as strength, stiffness, creep, and dimensional stability, which are further complemented by superior thermal s ...
Plant growth regulators are widely used in modern agriculture, horticulture and viticulture. “True” plant growth regulators interfere directly with the plant’s hormonal status. They are represented by p ...
Plant growth regulators are broadly classified into two major groups The meristematic cells present at the root and shoot apices divide mitotically and increase the length of the plant body. This is known as primary growth. Secondary growth&n ...
Plant Growth Regulators can be of a diverse chemical composition such as gases (ethylene), terpenes (gibberellic acid) or carotenoid derivates (abscisic acid). They are also referred to as plant growth substances, phytoh ...
Plants require light, water, oxygen, minerals and other nutrients for their growth and development. Apart from these external requirements, plants also depend on certain organic compounds to signal, regulate and control ...
Limonoids occur naturally only in plant species of the Rutaceae and Meliaceae plant families (Manners, 2007). Limonoids are highly oxygenated modified triterpenes that are biosynthesized from the acetate&nda ...
Limonoids, bitter tetranortriterpene derivatives from a precursor with a 4,4,8-trimethyl-17-furanylsteroid skeleton (Fig. 2.3), are a class of secondary metabolites confined to the families of order Rutales and most of t ...

Limonoids are one of the most health-benefiting bioactive components of citrus fruits owing to their versatile health-promoting and disease-preventing properties. Citrus limonoids were considered as the cu ...
Tissue engineering evolved from the field of biomaterials development and refers to the practice of combining scaffolds, cells, and biologically active molecules into functional tissues. The goal of t ...
Hybridization happens when atomic orbitals mix to form a new atomic orbital. The new orbital can hold the same total number of electrons as the old ones. The properties and energy of the new, hybridized orbital are an &# ...

Textile recycling is the process by which old clothing and other textiles are recovered for reuse or material recovery. It is the basis for the textile recycling industry. In the United States, this group is represented ...
A polymer is a chemical compound with molecules bonded together in long, repeating chains. Because of their structure, polymers have unique properties that can be tailored for different uses.Polymers are both man-made and naturally occur ...
Landfarming is an ex-situ waste treatment process that is performed in the upper soil zone or in biotreatment cells. Contaminated soils, sediments, or sludges are transported to the landfarming site, incorporated into the soil surface and periodic ...
Decomposition is the first stage in the recycling of nutrients that have been used by an organism (plant or animal) to build its body, and are surrendered back to the ecosystem upon its death. It is the process whereby the dead tissues break down ...

Biochemistry, sometimes called biological chemistry, is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. Biochemical processes give rise to the complexity of life. Biochemistry is closely related to mole ...
Catalysis is essential for the development of a sustainable world and is a key technology in achieving sustainability goals in a broad range of sectors, products, and processes. The nature of catalysis is such that these three characteristics of c ...
