"Starting with fundamentals and continuing through their mechanisms this book presents information on the latest research in green synthesized nanomaterial. This is then followed with chapters on nanomaterial and nanoparticle applications in the biomedical and pharmaceutical industries including use in anticancer, antitumor, anti-HIV, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory medicines as well as in environmental remediation including waste water treatment, battery recycling, and air pollution control. The book presents the advantages of green synthesized nanomaterial over chemically synthesized nanomaterials in view of comparative materials development."-- Provided by publisher.
