Summary : key learning, summary and the future.This book covers emerging bioinspired green methods for preparing inorganic nanomaterials. The book starts with an introduction to the principles of green chemistry and engineering, and highlights the special properties that nanomaterials possess, their applications and ways to characterise them. It describes conventional methods of synthesising and manufacturing inorganic nanomaterials, and introduces biological and biomimetic/bioinspired synthetic methods as a solution to precisely control nanomaterials and design sustainable manufacturing routes. The book elaborates on various mechanisms and examples of green nanomaterials, including the role of organic matrix and natural self-assembly, and advantages and opportunities with green nanomaterials. Two case studies of magnetic and silica materials are provided for advanced readers. The book is an insightful reference text for researchers focusing on synthetic biology and nanomaterials. It is an essential title for postgraduates and final-year undergraduates studying advanced materials, sustainable engineering or environmental chemistry.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Siddharth Patwardhan is a Professor of Sustainable Chemical and Materials Engineering at the University of Sheffield. He leads the Green Nanomaterials Research Group (svplab.com) with a vision to develop sustainable routes to functional nanomaterials. The group focusses on the discovery of bioinspired nanomaterials, assessing their scalability and developing manufacturing technologies for energy, environmental, biomedical and engineering applications. Sarah Staniland is a Reader of Bionano-Materials in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Sheffield. She leads the Bionanomagnetic Research Group, which studies the biomimetic synthesis of magnetic nanomaterials and is particularly inspired by the production of magnetite nanoparticles within magnetic bacteria.Title from PDF title page (viewed on January 6, 2020).
