Progress in the Science of Functional Dyes

This book covers a wide range of topics related to functional dyes, from synthesis and functionality to application. Making a survey of recent progress in functional dye chemistry, it provides an opportunity not only to understand the structure-property relationships of a variety of functional dyes but also to know how they are applied in practical use, from electronic devices to biochemical analyses. From classic dyes such as cyanines, squaraines, porphyrins, phthalocyanines, and others to the newest functional π-conjugation systems, various types of functional dyes are dealt with extensively in the book, focusing especially on the state of the art and the future. Readers will benefit greatly from the scientific context in which organic dyes and pigments are comprehensively explained on the basis of chemistry.

Materials for Dye Degradation

Increased use of dyes compromises the visual quality of water sources and enhances the biochemical and chemical oxygen demand that promote toxicity, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity of the environments. This book presents a broad-spectrum content of the functionalized materials and well-established methods, and a commercial perspective of various investigations conducted so far on dye degradation as an environmental cleaning application. It confines the emerging areas of advanced materials and efficient methods for the environmental remediation field as accommodating concepts. Describes fundamental as well as advancements in the field related to dye degradation and dye removal Discusses growth in the strategies to mitigate dye-related environmental issues through photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and nanotechnology Covers photocatalysis micellar catalysis, electrocatalysis ion exchange materials, and nanomaterials Deals with various the synthetic approaches and future perspectives for development of the advanced materials Focuses on pertinent green and sustainability aspects related to the environment. This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in environmental science, nanoscience, dyes, and chemistry.
