Description

This book begins with an introduction of nanobiotechnology, followed by biosyntheses of AgNPs, development of silver/chitosan (Ag/CS) polymer nanocomposites, synthesis of silver/chitosan-g-poly acrylamide (Ag/CS-g-PAAm) nanocomposite hydrogel and silver/chitosan/poly vinyl chloride (Ag/CS/PVC) blend.

Finally, it presents novel bioengineering of polyfunctional metallic nanostructures other than Ag, emphasizing biomass utilization and value-added conversion over an extended span, including life cycle assessment of the synthesized nanostructures. Features:Includes prospective cost effective, eco-friendly, and safe nanomaterials, synthesized through facile pathsCovers the synergistic effect of phytochemicals and nano-Ag antimicrobial agents from an antiviral perspectiveIncludes surface coating systems and super absorbent materials for biomedical purposesExamines nanobiotechnological applications for generating nanoalloys with synchronized nanostructural arrangement of alkaline earth metals and nanoscale dots of transition metalsExplores the life cycle assessment of synthesized nanomaterialsThis book aims at researchers and graduate students in biomaterials, chemical engineering, green chemistry, nanomaterials, and biotechnology.
