    About this ebook

    An Introduction to Green Nanotechnology, Volume 28, provides students, scientists and chemical engineers with an overview of several types of nanostructures, discusses the synthesis and characterization of nanostructures, and provides applications of nanotechnology in daily life. The book offers a foundation to green nanotechnology by explaining why green nanotechnology is important. Covers biological sources in green nanotechnology, antioxidants, green nanostructures, mechanism, synthesis and characterization. The book ends with an evaluation of the risks of nanotechnology in human life and future perspectives.

    • Introduces novel sources of plants having a high potential to be used as bio media to synthesize nanostructures
    • Provides phytochemical properties and antioxidant potential, and their effects on stability, morphology and size of green nanostructures
    • Includes a medicinal and technological comparison of green synthesized nanostructures to nano-products from non-green methods
    • Uses accessible language, avoiding complex concepts of mathematics, biology and chemistry

    Mahmoud Nasrollahzadeh

    Dr. Mahmoud Nasrollahzadeh received his B.Sc. (2003) in Applied Chemistry and M.Sc. (2007) in Organic Chemistry, before receiving his Ph.D. degree in Organic Chemistry from Bu-Ali Sina University, Iran, in 2012. He then moved to the Chemistry Department at the University of Qom as an Assistant Professor, and soon after was promoted to Associate Professor. His research interests are in the field of organic & organometallic chemistry, polymer-supported metal complexes, chemical biology, phytochemistry, nanobiotechnology, and application of biowastes in the preparation of nano(bio)materials. In 2016, he chaired a national conference and helped create the Center of Environmental Research, a National Centre of Excellence for the regional problems of dusts. Dr. Nasrollahzadeh is a member of the editorial board of several international journals and has published over 260 scientific papers, 46 reviews, 3 book chapters, 2 Elsevier books and 1 patent, as well as editing another book.
