The book's chapters focus on the basic principles, action mechanisms and promising applications of advanced nanomaterials, along with their integration with biotechnological processes for controlled degradation and deterioration of materials. In addition, the current research indications, positive or negative environmental impacts, legislation and future directions are also discussed. This book is an important reference source for researchers, engineers and scientists working in environmental remediation, biotechnology, materials science, corrosion and nanotechnology.
- Provides detailed coverage on how nano-biomaterials degrade and deteriorate
- Compares how different types of bionanomaterials decompose
- Explains how the priorities of bionanomaterials affect their deterioration rate
