Carbon nanomaterials have several applications, which is driving up scientific research into them. The book showcases the most recent advancements and research discoveries rather than just providing an overview. Each chapter offers authoritative insights into the ever-changing field of carbon-based nanomaterials, as written by top authorities in their respective domains. The book stands out for its persistent focus on real-world application. It is devoted to practical applications and is divided into four sections. The intriguing promise of carbon nanomaterials, their synthesis, and their possible uses set the stage for the adventure. Subsequently, the emphasis shifts to agriculture, where nanomaterials have been shown to improve plant health, fend against illnesses, promote growth and development, and even help detect and remove herbicides. The biomedical part explores the potential toxicological ramifications of these materials while introducing the reader to their ground-breaking role in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and the fight against fungal diseases. Overall, the book provides valuable insights and serves as a comprehensive resource for researchers and scientists across various interdisciplinary subjects.

Provides extensive exploration of carbon-based nanomaterials, encompassing synthesis, characterization, and applications Explore latest research findings, ensuring readers have access to up-to-date information on carbon-based nanomaterials Highlights the significant impact of carbon-based nanomaterials in addressing crucial global challenges

Archana (Joshi) Bachheti ****completed her BSc in 1997 and MSc in 1999 from HNB Garhwal University. She earned her Ph.D. from Forest Research Institute, Dehradun, India, in 2006. Throughout her career, she has been actively involved in research projects and consultancy work in various areas, including ecorestoration and development of wasteland, physico-chemical properties of Jatropha curcus seed oil in relation to altitudinal variation, and serving as a consultant ecologist for a project funded by a government agency. Currently, Archana is a Professor at Graphic Era University in Dehradun, India. With an extensive experience of more than 17 years, she has served in different capacities within academia in India and has also provided expertise internationally. Her teaching portfolio includes subjects like Ecology and Environment, Environmental Science, Freshwater Ecology, Disaster Management, and Bryophytes and Pteridophytes. Archana's research interests cover a broad and interdisciplinary field of plant ecology. Her focus areas include ecorestoration, green chemistry, especially the synthesis of nanomaterials, and exploring the medicinal properties of plants. Her research has encompassed ecological amelioration of degraded lands, studying physical and chemical properties of plant oils, and delving into plant-based nanomaterials. Throughout her career, she has been actively involved in mentoring students and researchers. She guided one Ph.D. student and supervised three scholars. Additionally, she has provided guidance to graduate and undergraduate students in their research projects. Driven by her fascination with forest biodiversity, Archana has maintained a passion for exploring the values of biodiversity and how it can contribute to social upliftment. As an editor, she has contributed to six books and has published over 80 research articles in both international and national journals. She has also authored sixteen book chapters. Furthermore, she has organized several National seminars/conferences at Graphic Era University, India.

Rakesh Kumar Bachheti graduated from Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna University, Garhwal, India, in 1996. He completed his MSc in Organic Chemistry from the same university in 1998. Later, in 2001, he underwent a one-year Post Graduate Diploma in Pulp and Paper Technology from Forest Research Institute, Dehradun, India.
