Abstract
The world of science and engineering in the field of nanotechnology and nanocomposites are moving at a drastic pace towards newer innovations. Composite science, material science, and polymer science are amidst newer scientific regeneration. The connection of nanotechnology to medical and health science needs to be envisioned and revamped with the passage of scientific history and time. Here the authors of this well-researched treatise discussed with vast scientific insight significant scientific advances in the field of green polymer nanocomposites, biocompatible nanopolymers and its applications in environmental protection. The scientific prowess in the field of nanocomposites and nanopolymers, the futuristic vision of nanotechnology, and the scientific sagacity of modern science will surely lead a long and visionary way in the true emancipation of engineering and science today globally. Arsenic and ground water remediation has practically no answers in engineering science in the current global scenario. In the similar vein, water purification, drinking water treatment, and industrial waste water treatment are the needs of human scientific progress today globally. The authors in this treatise pointedly focus on the world of scientific advancements in the field of environmental protection and environmental engineering science. Technology and engineering science needs to be reorganized and re-envisaged with the passage of scientific history and time. Technological validation and scientific divination need to be reorganized as regards of environmental protection and environmental sustainability. The vision of the science of sustainability is also elaborated in deep details in this chapter. Human mankind’s immense scientific prowess, the divination, and girth will surely lead a long and effective way in the true emancipation of environmental and energy sustainability in the global landscape. This is the salient feature of this chapter.
