Advances in Functionalized Polymer Nanocomposites: From Synthesis to Applications presents a detailed review on the synthesis, fundamental chemistry, properties, and applications of these high-performance materials. The book's introductory chapter provides a brief overview of the various types of organic and inorganic nanofillers used for the synthesis of polymer nanocomposites. Emphasis is placed on their fundamental chemistry, processing methods, functionalization, and/or surface modification strategies. The dispersion state and their specific interaction with polymer matrices is also discussed in detail, as well as characterization techniques for functionalized nanofillers and functionalized polymer nanocomposites, and their properties, and applications.The book will be a valuable reference source for scientists, engineers, and postgraduate students working in the field of polymer science and technology, materials science and engineering, composites, and nanocomposites.

Spirooxindole: Chemistry, Synthesis, Characterization and Biological Significance examines the current state-of-the-art, recent progress, and new challenges associated with the development of spirooxindole derivatives for various medicinal applications. Owing to their exceptional properties, these compounds can be used in various fields, including chemical and pharma industries, and in clinical research. This book has chapters written by experts in several different areas. It serves as a useful reference book for scientists, industrial practitioners, graduate students, and other professionals in the field of hetrocyclic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, organic synthesis clinical research and chemical sciences. The growing interest among the academics and industrial researchers in the field of organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry is the driving force for the presentation of this edited book.

A searing manifesto for troubled times in India. “India is improbable. By any measure of logic or reason, it should not be. Not in this form. And yet it is.â€?   With this provocation, Justice Gautam Patel of the Bombay High Court sketches the exoskeleton of this improbability‿the “Constitutionalâ€? idea of India. Justice Patel argues that the devolution of power is necessary for the survival of any liberal democracy, maintaining the idea that “the right to choose one‿s own government is the right to dissent.â€? Decrying the portrayal of politics as sport, Patel elucidates the strategies and tactics used by “nimbleâ€? governments to enforce a culture of “broad-spectrum illiberalism.â€? A champion of transparency in the judiciary, Patel argues that the Internet and the judiciary must serve as beacons in this age of precarity. A timely text that comes at a juncture where liberal democracies across the world are facing existential threats, Undermining the Idea of India is a searing manifesto for our troubled times.
