Synthesis of Nanoparticles and Nanomaterials

This book covers biological synthesis approaches for nanomaterials and nanoparticles, including introductory material on their structure, phase compositions and morphology, nanomaterials chemical, physical, and biological properties. The chapters of this book describe in sequence the synthesis of various nanoparticles by microorganisms, bacteria, yeast, algae, and actynomycetes; plant and plant extract-based synthesis; and green synthesis methods. Each chapter provides basic knowledge on the synthesis of nanomaterials, defines fundamental terms, and aims to build a solid foundation of knowledge, followed by explanations, examples, visual photographs, schemes, tables and illustrations. Each chapter also contains control questions, problem drills, as well as case studies that clarify theory and the explanations given in the text. This book is ideal for researchers and advanced graduate students in materials engineering, biotechnology, and nanotechnology fields. As a reference book this work is also appropriate for engineers in R&D and product manufacturing.

Presents a complete guide covering recent biological approaches for biosynthesis of nanoparticles and materials for advanced applications;

Explains fundamental terms and approaches with easily understandable explanations, and contains control questions, case studies, equations, and informative tables and schemes to let readers learn faster;

Explores applications to food, healthcare, cosmetics, and manufacturing of sensors, advanced electronics, and energy storage devices.
