One- and Two- Dimensional Nanomaterials: Bioengineering Applications covers in-depth information on the properties, structures, and preparation methods of one- and two- dimensional nanomaterials, providing readers with tools that can be immediately implemented and adapted to fit a diverse range of applications.
The first part of the book covers the fundamentals of these materials, including properties and synthesis techniques. The second part of the book focuses on the use of several conventional and emerging nanomaterials in the areas of pollution management, remediation practices, and other possible applications in biosensing, biomedicine, and antimicrobial activity.
This book will be a helpful resource to nano-scientists, biotechnologists, and bioengineers engaged in studying the emerging trends and different fabrication techniques of nanostructures and their applications and possible toxicity.
- Covers applications of one- and two- dimensional nanomaterials on various fields, including biomedical engineering, energy generation, pollution remediation, and more
- Discusses the toxic side effects of chemically or physically synthesized nanomaterials
- Incorporates relevant case studies to increase understanding
Dr. Sanket Joshi is currently a Professor at the Amity Institute of Microbial Technology, Amity University, Rajasthan, India. He has academic teaching and research experience of about 16 years, and industrial R&D experience of about 4 years in India and Oman.
