Bionanomaterials are identified as a perfect replacement, in the
quest for the search of an alternative to toxic conventional
nanomaterials for biomedical applications. Bionanomaterials are the
nanomaterials, that are fabricated via biomolecules or encapsulate
or immobilize a conventional nanomaterial with a biomolecule. The
biomolecules extracted from the microbes, plants, agricultural
wastes, insects, marine organisms and certain animals are used for
the formation of bionanomaterials. These bionanomaterials exhibited
low or negligible toxicity towards humans, other organisms and the
environment with enhanced biocompatibility, bioavailability and
bioreactivity. Thus, the aim of this book is to provide an overview
of various bionanomaterials, their synthesis, characterization and
their application-oriented properties. The book is divided into two
parts - Part 1 discusses about the bionanomaterials of exclusive
natural origin, self-assembled bionanomaterials and their
environmental application and Part 2 focuses on applications of
distinct bionanomaterials in biomedical sciences. The 'Chapter 1 -
Bionanomaterials: Definitions, sources, types, properties, market,
toxicity and regulations' aims to provide an extensive overview of
bionanomaterials, their definitions, sources, types and their
properties. In addition, the toxicity of bionanomaterials and their
regulations implied in recent times were also discussed. 'Chapter 2
- Nature inspired bionanomaterials' highlights different types of
nature-inspired biosynthesized nanomaterials and their green
synthesis methods, as well as some of their emerging applications,
especially in the fields of nanomedicine, cosmetics, drug delivery,
molecular imaging, and catalytic precursors. Further, the chapter
also covers different types of bionanomaterials (e.g., viruses,
protein cages, and phages) and highlights their unique properties
and potential applications. 'Chapter 3 - Culinary spices mediated
biogenesis of nanoparticles for cancer and diabetes treatment'
deals with bionanomaterials synthesized by using extracts of
culinary spices and its vital role in the treatment of distinct
types of cancer and diabetes. In 'Chapter 4 - Environment friendly
superhydrophobic bioactive nanocoatings', the authors have
discussed the basics of exceptional water repellence behaviour and
recent developments in the area of bioactive-SHC for various
applications. In addition, the current and projected requirements
for bioactive-SHC were also addressed. The authors of 'Chapter 5 -
Self-assembly of nanobionics: from theory to application' reviewed,
discussed, addressed and highlighted the recent advancements in
bionics as an interdisciplinary field to understand the bionic
materials and particles, that are mainly fabricated via
self-assembly approach. In part 2, the 'Chapter 6 - Inorganic
bionanomaterials for biomedical applications' provides an overview
of inorganic bionanomaterials, its distinct types, synthesis
procedures, properties and characteristics, which is essential for
desired applications. 'Chapter 7 - Polymer nanomaterials for
biomedical applications' is a comprehensive review of various
polymer nanocomposite types, and further describes the synthesis,
preparation, structure and biomedical application of
nanocomposites. In addition, the recent developments in the field
of polymer nanocomposites for biomedical applications were also
discussed. 'Chapter 8 - Lignin nanoparticles and their biomedical
applications' aims in highlighting the current trends in lignin
nanoparticle depolymerization approach, focusing on microbial
lignin degradation, optimization, and its biomedical applications.
The authors of 'Chapter 9 - Polymer-based nanomaterials for
targeted drug delivery' addressed the use of polymeric
bionanomaterials, including hydrogels, electrospun nanofibrous
scaffolds, nanocellulose, and carbohydrate nanocarriers with
special emphasis to their material properties, fabrication
technologies and applicability in specific targeted anatomical
sites. Moreover, 'Chapter 10 - Cationic nanoparticles for treatment
of neurological diseases' discusses about brain disorders, the role
of nutraceuticals, mechanisms, delivery challenges, as well as
formulation techniques and prospects of cationic nanoparticles in
the therapeutic management of neuronal disorders, i.e., brain as
site of drug target. Besides, 'Chapter 11 - Carbon nanomaterials
for therapeutic applications' has highlighted the cutting-edge
properties, mechanism of action, and advancements of carbon
nanomaterials as drug delivery system in various diseases, such as
cancer and inflammatory disorders. Further, the chapter also sheds
light on the potential challenges, limitations, and future outlook
for improving and growing carbon-based bionanomaterials. The final
chapter 'Chapter 12 - Liposomal bionanomaterials for nucleic acid
delivery' is a brief summary of various nucleic acid-based cationic
liposomes as a potential bionanomaterial and its recent progress in
the application of therapeutic nucleic acid delivery. We hope that
this book will enlighten undergraduates, graduates, and industrial
as well as academic researchers on the synthesis, characterization
and property-oriented applications of certain exclusive
bionanomaterials.
