New research into bionanomaterials has uncovered promising solutions to problems in environmental and agricultural science. Providing an extensive review of the latest research, this book fills a gap for a comprehensive and up-to-date reference text, exploring the prospects and limitations of using bionanomaterials in food processing, water treatment, agricultural yield, food quality, environmental monitoring, pollution and other related areas.
The bionanomaterials discussed include antibodies, proteins, enzymes, genetic material (DNA/RNA), lipids, oligosaccharides and viruses. Particular attention is given to sensors, adhesives and fibers, and their use in diverse disciplines such as biomedicine, environmental science and agriculture, equipping the reader to apply the methodology to the problems presented in those fields.
Providing an invaluable reference for scientists, researchers and academics working in the fields of biomaterials, bionanotechnology, environmental science and agriculture, the book also serves as an expansive and authoritative introduction for students.
