Handbook of Greener Synthesis of Nanomaterials and Compounds [EPUB ebook] 
Volume 1: Fundamental Principles and Methods

Modern techniques to produce nanoparticles, nanomaterials, and nanocomposites are based on approaches that frequently involve high costs, inefficiencies, and negative environmental impacts. As such, there has been a real drive to develop and apply approaches that are more efficient and benign. The Handbook of Greener Synthesis of Nanomaterials and Compounds provides a comprehensive review of developments in this field, combining foundational green and nano-chemistry with the key information researchers need to assess, select and apply the most appropriate green synthesis approaches to their own work.Volume 1: Fundamental Principles and Methods provides a clear introduction to the fundamentals of green synthesis that places synthesis in the context of green chemistry. Beginning with a discussion of key greener physical and chemical methods for synthesis, including ultrasound, microwave and mechanochemistry methods, the book goes on to explore biological methods, including biosynthesis, green nanoformation, and virus-assisted methods. – Discusses synthesis in the context of the principles of green chemistry- Highlights both traditional and innovative technologies for the synthesis of nanomaterials and related composites under green chemistry conditions- Reflects on the current and potential applications of natural products chemistry in synthesis
