Nanotechnology is at the forefront of many of the latest developments across science and technology, but to generate and deploy these applications, macroscopic levels of nanoscale materials have to be carefully generated whilst remaining cost effective. These materials need to be reliable, consistent, and safe, and as a general principle, industries should consider green sustainable methods in the synthesis of these material and their applications as well. This book introduces readers to the field of green nanotechnologies and their possible applications to create a safer world. This accessible and practical guide will be a useful resource for material scientists, engineers, chemists, biotechnologists, and scientists working in the space of nanomaterials, in addition to graduate students in physics, chemistry, biomedical sciences and engineering.

THIS BOOK

Dr Gérrard E.J. Poinern holds a Ph.D. in Physics from Murdoch University, Western Australia and a Double Major in Physics and Chemistry. Currently he is an Associate Professor in Physics and Nanotechnology in the School of Engineering and Information Technology at Murdoch University. He is the director of Murdoch Applied Innovation and Nanotechnology Research Group, Murdoch University. In 2003, he discovered and pioneered the use of an inorganic nanomembrane for potential skin tissue engineering applications. He is the recipient of a Gates Foundation Global Health Grand Challenge Exploration Award for his work in the development of biosynthetic materials and their subsequent application in the manufacture of biomedical devices. He is also the author of the 2014 CRC Press experimental textbook "A Laboratory Course in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology".

Associate Professor Suraj Kumar Tripathy is Associate Dean of the School of Chemical Technology at Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology, Bhubaneswar, India. He currently leads the Chemical & Bioprocess Engineering Lab (CBEL) at KIIT which focuses on achieving sustainability in materials processing and utilization. CBEL explores opportunities in valorization of waste materials (secondary resources) and investigate their applications in catalysis, water treatment, and biomedical systems. CBEL also works closely with industries to develop suitable waste management and resource recycling strategies to optimize the potential of circular economy model.

Dr. Derek Fawcett is the Defence Science Centre research fellow at Murdoch University, Australia. His research involves the investigation and development of new advanced materials and their use in innovative engineering systems. He has published over seventy peer-reviewed research papers in international journals and is the co-author of four book chapters on applied nanotechnology.
