Nanobiomaterials Research Trends and Applications

Nanobiomaterials: Research Trends and Applications ? Biomaterials are derived from natural resources such as plants, animals and marine sources. These biomaterials have advanced applications, across a range of key industries due to their low cost, being easy to process, being biocompatible and so on. The modification of biomaterials in the nanoform enhances their applications.

The book begins with an overview of nanobiomaterials, processing, classifications, fabrication and sustainability. In-depth chapters in Part I address the most recent methods and techniques for physicochemical characterisation, processing of blends and composites based on nanomaterials, and separation. Chapters in Part II focus on the biological and biomedical applications specifically in antimicrobial chemotherapy, drug delivery, tissue engineering, cancer therapeutics, robust biosolar cells, and 3D printing. The chapters in Part III mostly focus on environmental applications, including wastewater treatment, water desalination, bioremediation, and agricultural uses. The book is extremely useful for scientists, R&D specialists, designers, and engineers across sectors and disciplines who are interested in using biopolymers for parts and products.
