Nanobiotechnology for Safe Bioactive Nanobiomaterials

<p>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.</p><p>Features:</p><ul> <li>Includes prospective cost effective eco-friendly and safe nanomaterials synthesized through facile paths</li> <li>Covers the synergistic effect of phytochemicals and nano-Ag antimicrobial agents from an antiviral perspective</li> <li>Includes surface coating systems and super absorbent materials for biomedical purposes</li> <li>Examines nanobiotechnological applications for generating nanoalloys with synchronized nanostructural arrangement of alkaline earth metals and nanoscale dots of transition metals</li> <li>Explores the life cycle assessment of synthesized nanomaterials</li> </ul><p>This book aims at researchers and graduate students in biomaterials chemical engineering green chemistry nanomaterials and biotechnology.</p>
