By Poushpi Dwivedi, Shahid S. Narvi, Ravi Prakash Tewari, Dhanesh Tiwary

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.

Features:

• Includes prospective cost effective, eco-friendly, and safe nanomaterials, synthesized through facile paths
• Covers the synergistic effect of phytochemicals and nano-Ag antimicrobial agents from an antiviral perspective
• Includes surface coating systems and super absorbent materials for biomedical purposes
• Examines nanobiotechnological applications for generating nanoalloys with synchronized nanostructural arrangement of alkaline earth metals and nanoscale dots of transition metals
• Explores the life cycle assessment of synthesized nanomaterials

This book aims at researchers and graduate students in biomaterials, chemical engineering, green chemistry, nanomaterials, and biotechnology.
