Series: Smart Nanomaterials Technology

This book is a thorough guide that navigates the convergence of environmentally friendly techniques and cutting-edge nanotechnology. This book tackles the growing demand for eco-friendly techniques for nanomaterial production, as tailored by academics, scientists, and experts in materials science, nanotechnology, and green chemistry. The primary subjects discussed are novel green synthesis methods for generating biopolymeric nanomaterials, with a focus on minimizing environmental effects and resource depletion. The book investigates eco-friendly alternatives to traditional nanomaterial fabrication by leveraging biopolymers produced from renewable sources as major building blocks. Readers will learn about green chemical principles, green solvents, and energy-efficient processes, which will help them reduce their carbon footprint and waste output. The importance of these topics lies in the urgent need to shift toward environmentally conscious practices in nanotechnology, considering the escalating concerns over pollution and resource depletion associated with traditional methods. The overarching problem addressed is the environmental toll of conventional nanomaterial production. By presenting green chemistry methodologies, the book seeks to provide actionable solutions to reduce the ecological footprint of nanotechnology, ensuring the sustainable development of advanced materials. Through a holistic approach, it offers a roadmap for researchers and practitioners to adopt greener practices in the synthesis of biopolymeric nanomaterials, fostering a paradigm shift toward environmentally responsible nanotechnology. This book is intended for anyone who wants to use green and sustainable approaches to create biopolymeric nanomaterials. The book is intended for people looking for novel and environmentally responsible techniques for nanomaterial synthesis. Furthermore, the book may appeal to graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the field who are looking for comprehensive and up-to-date information on green production processes and uses of biopolymeric nanomaterials. It serves as a valuable resource for those wanting to deepen their knowledge in this emerging field and explore new perspectives on sustainable nanomaterial synthesis.
