About this title

Synopsis

Nanoparticles are a general challenge for today's technology and the near future observations of science. Nanoparticles cover mostly all types of science and manufacturing technologies and have a considerable impact on nearly all fields of research, from basic to more problem-solving scientific enterprises. In this sense, the book provides an overview of the front line research on the “Synthesis of biogenic silicon/silica (Si/SiO₂) nanocomposites through various microorganisms”. The aim of the book is to fill the gaps for comprehensive information to help both newcomers and experts, in a particular fast-growing area of research. Nowadays Bio-nanotechnology is the key functional technology. It is a fusion of biology and nanotechnology based on the principles and chemical pathways of living organisms, and refers to the functional applications of biomolecules in nanotechnology. The biodegradability of plant fibers can contribute to a healthy ecosystem while their low cost and high performance fulfills the economic interest of industry. The Rice husk and Wheat bran are agriculture residues that are chosen because of high availability and reduced price.
