Green Synthesis of Nanomaterials

Develop sustainable nanomaterial applications with this cutting-edge introduction

Nanomaterials are one of the most important areas of scientific and industrial development, with impacts in virtually every area touched by materials science. Their unique properties have particularly widespread applications in biomedical and environmental research, where they contribute to sustainable and cost-effective processes. The synthesis of nanomaterials, however, can itself be costly and environmentally damaging; green or sustainable synthesis of nanomaterials is an essential development if the full potential of these transformative materials is to be realized.

Green Synthesis of Nanomaterials: Biological and Environmental Applications presents a cutting-edge overview of green synthesis processes and their applications. It takes a comparative approach in order to emphasize the advantages of green-synthesized nanomaterials over their chemically synthesized counterparts. The result is a vital contribution to biomedical and environmental research and product development.

Green Synthesis of Nanomaterials: Biological and Environmental Applications readers will also find:

* The latest research compiled by a team of established scholars
* Detailed discussion of applications in fields including anticancer and antibacterial research and environmental remediation, among many others
* Coverage of topics including magnetotactic bacteria, green nanomaterials in the textile industry, and many others

Green Synthesis of Nanomaterials: Biological and Environmental Applications is ideal for researchers and scientists in chemistry, biology, materials science, or nanotechnology, as well as for technologists in any industry that can benefit from green-synthesized nanomaterials.
