Sommario/riassunto

This book is a summary of the latest knowledge in the field of electrospinning technology, including a detailed description of the method as well as the influence of its parameters on the structure and properties of manufactured materials. Currently, electrospinning is one of the most promising methods for the reproducible production of one-dimensional nanostructures such as nanowires, nanofibers, and fibrous mats, with high purity and dimensional accuracy. Chapters address such topics as electrospun fibrous mats in the development of active food packaging, production of structured nanofibers from natural sources, and biomass waste as an alternative source of polymeric materials in electrospinning technology, and more.

Sommario/riassunto

Water, Crime and Security in the Twenty-First Century represents criminology’s first book-length contribution to the study of water and water-related crimes, harms and security. The chapters cover topics such as: water pollution, access to fresh water in the Global North and Global South, water and climate change, the commodification of water and privatization, water security and pacification, and activism and



resistance surrounding issues of access and pollution. With examples ranging from Rio de Janeiro to Flint, Michigan to the Thames River, this original study offers a comprehensive criminological overview of the contemporary and historical relationship between water and crime.  Coinciding with the International Decade for Action, “Water for Sustainable Development,” 2018–2028, this timely volume will be of particular relevance to students and scholars of green criminology, as well as those interested in critical geography, environmental anthropology, environmental sociology, political ecology, and the study of corporate crime and state crime.
