Following an introduction to biogenic metal nanoparticles, this
book presents how they can be biosynthesized using bacteria, fungi
and yeast, as well as their potential applications in biomedicine.
It is shown that the synthesis of nanoparticles using microbes is
eco-friendly and results in reproducible metal nanoparticles of
well-defined sizes, shapes and structures. This biotechnological
approach based on the process of biomineralization exploits the
effectiveness and flexibility of biological systems. Chapters
include practical protocols for microbial synthesis of
nanoparticles and microbial screening methods for isolating a
specific nanoparticle producer as well as reviews on process
optimization, industrial scale production, biomolecule-nanoparticle
interactions, magnetosomes, silver nanoparticles and their numerous
applications in medicine, and the application of gold nanoparticles
in developing sensitive biosensors.
This book takes a systematic approach to nanotoxicology and the
developing risk factors associated with nanosized particles during
manufacture and use of nanotechnology. Beginning with a detailed
introduction to engineered nanostructures, the first part of the
book presents concepts and definitions of nanomaterials from
quantum dots to graphene to fullerenes, with detailed discussion of
functionalization, stability, and medical and biological
applications. The second part critically examines methodologies
used to assess cytotoxicity and genotoxicity. Coverage includes
interactions with blood (erythrocytes), combinatorial and
microarray techniques, cellular mechanisms, and ecotoxicology
assessments. Part three describes cases studies both in vitro and
in vivo for specific nanomaterials including solid lipid
nanoparticles and nanostructured lipid carriers and metallic
nanoparticles and metallic oxides. New information is also
presented on toxicological aspects of poloxamers and polymeric
nanoparticles as drug carriers as well as size effects on
cytotoxicity and genotoxicity. Didactic aspects are emphasized in
all chapters, making the book suitable for a broad audience ranging
from advanced undergraduate and graduate students to researchers in
academia and industry. In all, Nanotoxicology: Materials,
Methodologies, and Assessments will provide comprehensive insight
into biological and environmental interactions with nanostructures.
Provides an introduction to nanostructures actually in use
Describes cyto- and genotoxicity methodologies, and assesses their
performance in comparison to common toxicity assays Discusses the
relation of cytotoxicity and genotoxicity to ecotoxicity Presents a
range of applications, from biogenic silver nanoparticles to
poloxamers as drug-delivery systems, reflecting the expanding
applications of nanotechnology
This book provides detailed instructions for reading and writing a
patent. The book presents useful instructions for undergraduate and
graduate students as well as post-doctoral, researchers and
professors in the field of Chemistry and related areas. Written
from a practical point of view it answers the simple and often
asked question: how should I read and write a patent? The book is
particularly directed to graduate students, who are initiating
their research and often lack experience with patents. The ability
to write and comprehend patents is fundamental for the success of
their projects.

This book presents a comprehensive overview of new and emerging
nanotechnologies. It includes aspects of nanoparticle monitoring,
toxicity, and public perception, and covers applications that
address both crop growing and treatment of agricultural wastewater.
Topics include nanoagrochemicals (nanofertilizers, -pesticides,
-herbicides), nanobiosensors, and nanotechnologies for food
processing, packaging, and storage, crop improvement and plant
disease control. The group of expert authors is led by an
experienced team of editors.
