Synthesis of Bionanomaterials for Biomedical Applications

Concern has arisen regarding the environmental impact caused by some of nanomaterials, as well as their possible toxicity to cells. A new generation of eco-friendly nanomaterials has been developed in response to these concerns. Green synthesis of nanoparticles shows how environmentally friendly nanoparticles can be synthesized from different biological sources, such as microbes, fungi, algae, and plants. Nanoparticle synthesis, using biological sources, is characterized by processes that take place at near-ambient temperature and with a neutral pH.

Synthesis of Bionanomaterials for Biomedical Applications summarizes a range of procedures, including green synthesis of metal nanoparticles, metal oxide nanoparticles, and other types of nanoparticles, and explores the appropriate use of these nanoparticles in various therapeutic applications, such as anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, drug delivery, etc. This will provide important information for materials scientists and pharmaceutical scientists on the synthesis of various nanoparticles, using a variety of eco-friendly bionanomaterials.
