This book provides the fundamental aspects of bionanomaterials and bionanotechnology, and insight into the synthesis and modification of bionanomaterials in a detailed manner. It initiates with a general overview of biotechnology and nanotechnology followed by different strategies and methodologies for the synthesis of nanomaterials. Further, it discusses pertinent topics such as protein engineering, analysis, mechanisms of microbe- mediated nanosynthesis, followed by various challenges and innovation strategies, and the role of enzymes in bionanotechnology.
Features:
- Covers the synthesis of bionanomaterials, including the interaction between nanomaterial and biogenic materials
- Encompasses the study of the connections between structure, molecular biology, and nanotechnology
- Explains several techniques (XRD, SEM, TEM, etc.) used for the analysis of bionanomaterials
- Includes prospects, challenges, and opportunities associated with bionanotechnology
- Reviews the interaction between nanomaterials and the biological system and self- assembly in bionanotechnology
This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in materials sciences, biotechnology, and bionanotechnology.
