Bio-based Nanomaterials: Synthesis Protocols, Mechanisms and Applications summarizes recent developments in biocompatible and biodegradable materials, including their properties, fabrication methods, synthesis protocols and applications. The extensive use of petrochemicals, rising levels of plastic waste and manufacturing of non-biodegradable materials is a major environmental problem across the globe. Bio-based nanomaterials offer potential alternatives to address these challenging issues. The book covers key bio-based nanomaterials - including chitin, starch and nanocellulose – detailing their core properties, associated fabrication methods and synthesis protocols. Later chapters look at the range of applications for bio-based nanomaterials, from food and agriculture to environmental and biomedical. This book offers a detailed reference for those interested in sustainable nanoscale materials, including materials scientists, biomedical engineers, environmental scientists, food and agriculture manufacturers and scientists.
