Bücher der Reihe Advances in Bionanotechnology

Bionanotechnology Towards Green Energy explains the role of bionanotechnology in the next generation technologies of green energy from an interdisciplinary and sustainability perspective. Chapters cover different roles of bionanotechnology such as applications of bio-nano enabled materials/coatings, scaling-up of green energy production, design and synthesis of bio-inspired nanomaterials and their applications, bio-nanofluid-based photovoltaic thermal systems, the use of bio-templated and biomimetic materials, and so forth. It focuses on waste-to-energy conversion and fixing intricate environmental issues.Key features:Provides detailed coverage of green energy production through bionanotechnological interventionReviews future research needs in bionanotechnology in the green energy sector and scientific challenges in the mitigation of energy crisesDeals with cutting-edge research on microbial synergism in biohydrogen production and storageDiscusses the fabrication of bio-nano/hybrid electrode materials for supercapacitors and energy storage devicesIncludes extensive illustrations, case studies, summary tables, and up-to-date referencesThis book is aimed at researchers and professionals in bionanotechnology, energy sciences, and environmental engineering.

This book covers various aspects of cancer chemoprevention, including an overview of chemoprevention in the process of tumorigenesis; the roles of various phytochemicals, functional foods, and dietary interventions in disease prevention; and techniques such as cancer stem cell targeting, nano-formulations, and so forth. The nutrigenomic and epigenetic effects of natural products at the molecular and genetic levels are also covered alongside their potential for additive and synergistic effect, as well as overcoming drug resistance. The key selling features of the book are as follows:Discusses holistic and comprehensive areas of chemoprevention Includes diverse techniques, such as cancer stem cell targeting, nano-formulations, and nanotechnology-based drug delivery systemsIntroduces various mechanisms involved in prevention of the diseases, including targeting cancer stem cellsReviews various aspects which can reduce the toxicity and cost of treatment of diseases by alternative medicineExplores various sources, mechanisms, and ways to develop cancer chemopreventive agents with minimal toxicity compared to traditional cancer therapy drugsThis book is focused on researchers and graduate students in drug delivery and formulation, nanobiotechnology, cancer chemoprevention, prevention, and therapeutics.
