Synopsis

Char-based Composites: Production, Characterization, Limitations and Emerging Applications provides the reader with a wide spectrum of information on char and biochar-based composites. Emphasis is placed on their production, characterization, applications, and limitations towards commercialization. The book's chapters concentrate on char/biochar as nanofillers in composite materials which are currently used in various advanced technologies including nanotechnology, environmental sectors (gas cleaning and wastewater treatments), energy storage, and solid fuel and catalysts.

This book will be a valuable reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, as well as biotechnologists working in the development of advanced char and biochar-based composite materials.

He is a Professional Engineer and a Fellow of many professional societies, including the Society of Automotive Engineers; the Academy of Science Malaysia; the International Society for Development and Sustainability; the World Academy of Sciences; the Plastic and Rubber Institute Malaysia (PRIM); the Malaysian Scientific Association and the Institute of Materials Malaysia. He is an Honorary Member and past Vice President of the Asian Polymer Association and Founding Chairman and Honorary Member of The Society of Sugar Palm Development and Industry, Malaysia. During the course of his career, he has produced over 2500 publications, including 989 journal papers, 68 books and 246 book chapters.

M.M. Harussani is currently, pursuing his doctoral course at the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) in Materials Science sponsored by the Japanese Government under the Monbukagakusho: MEXT 2022 Scholarship.

He is a postgraduate student in materials engineering, who is affiliated with the Universiti Putra Malaysia.

In 2015, he was awarded the MyBrainSC Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) Scholarship to pursue his bachelor's degree (BSc) in Physics from the Faculty of Science, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). He graduated in 2019, with a CGPA of 3.80. He then went on to successfully complete his research-mode master's degree in Materials Engineering at (UPM) with a CGPA of 4.00. His research interests include carbon, hydrogen energy, energy conversion and materials science. During his short academic career he has already been the recipient of numerous awards including the Best of the Best Award for excellence in both writing and presentation for his paper on waste-to-wealth strategy and utilization of carbon material-char as nanofillers in an International Conference of Sugar Palm and Allied Fibre Polymer Composites 2021 (SAPC2021); and the Best Presenter Award in the 7th Postgraduate Seminar on Natural Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites, Institute of Tropical Forestry and Forest Products (INTROP, 2020). To date, he has authored or co-authored almost 40 publications, 5 book chapters, 2 conference papers, 12 conference proceedings/seminar papers/presentations), and has submitted 3 books on char and composites, 1 copyright and 1 product patent.
