Biogenic Nanomaterial for Health and Environment: A Comprehensive Guide

Authored by Rahul Badru, this book delves into the synthesis, characterization, and applications of nanomaterials derived from living organisms such as bacteria, algae, fungi, plants, and biomolecules. It is an essential resource for undergraduate and graduate-level students of chemistry, biology, nanotechnology, and chemical engineering. Researchers in the fields of nanochemistry, material science, biology, and industrial chemistry will also find it a valuable reference work.

Key Features

• A systematic overview of the biogenic synthesis of nanomaterials
• Recent research results and pointers to the advancement in the field
• Detailed discussion of putative applications of biogenic nanomaterials in health and the environment, with a main emphasis on biocidal activity, disease diagnosis, drug delivery, and sensing and remediation of pollutants from the environment

This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the underlying concepts of the biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles. The biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles offers more effective and sustainable prospects for nanotechnology researchers. Biomass derived from various organisms acts as a template for the synthesis of nanoparticles with desired structural and functional aspects. The benefits of employing biomass and molecules derived from organisms of choice in the synthesis process of nanoparticles include enhanced electrochemical consistency, controlled particle size, reduced toxicity, and increased reactivity in an eco-friendly manner.
