Synthesis of Bionanomaterials for Biomedical Applications summarizes a range of procedures, including green synthesis of metal nanoparticles, metal oxide nanoparticles, and other types of nanoparticles while also exploring the appropriate use of these nanoparticles in various therapeutic applications such as anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, drug delivery, and more. The book provides important information for materials scientists and pharmaceutical scientists on the synthesis of various nanoparticles using a variety of eco-friendly bionanomaterials. As concern has arisen regarding the environmental impact caused by some of nanomaterials, as well as their possible toxicity to cells, this book presents information on a new generation of eco-friendly materials.

In addition, the green synthesis of nanoparticles shows how environmentally-friendly nanoparticles can be synthesized from different biological sources, such as microbes, fungi, algae and plants.

Nanotechnology-Based Sensors for Detection of Environmental Pollution discusses the use of nanotechnology to generate sensors capable of performing efficient detection of different types of environmental pollutants. Sections explore environmental pollution as a threat to life on Earth, the main contaminants (inorganic, organic or pathogens), and the risk they represent to living beings. Others are dedicated to nanotechnology, allowing pollutants' detection, a brief history of nanotechnology-based sensors, different types of nanotechnology-based sensor (optical, electrochemical, and magnetic), nanotechnology-based sensors' design and fabrication, nano biosensors, and more.Additional sections focus on important specific pollutants (pesticides, heavy metal, dyes, toxic gas, pharmaceutical waste, petroleum hydrocarbons, and pathogenic microbes) and their detection by nanotechnology-based sensors and important nanomaterials in nanotechnology-based sensors, exploring carbon-based and non-carbon-based material in nanoscale (graphene, carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, magnetic nanomaterials, non-magnetic nanoparticles) and also point-of-care sensors and functionalization to generate optimized nanotechnology-based sensors to pollutants' detection.

The use of nanomaterials for remediation efforts has been overlooked even though they present interesting characteristics as remediators. This new book provides a valuable overview of low-cost and eco-friendly green synthesized nanomaterials as advantageous technology that promotes efficient nanoremediation of environmental pollution for the restoration of polluted areas. It discusses the potential of nanomaterials, specifically green synthesized nanomaterials, as a practical and efficient solution toward sustainability. The book details the advantages of green nanomaterials when compared to conventional physicochemical methods, such as avoiding the use of harmful reagents and reducing toxic waste production. The book addresses themes such as contaminants associated with environmental pollution and the threats to humans; nanoremediation strategies that use microbes, plants, or amendments; and nanoparticles as tools for nanoremediation and their advantageous characteristics.

Allelopathy is a field that can play a major role in containing environmental pollution through providing viable alternatives to synthetic pesticides and contributing to sustainable agriculture. Allelochemicals have the ability to contribute to inhibiting pest damage to crops, to promote weed control, and to help in creating a desirable plant-microbes interaction in soil that improves soil nutrition systems. This new volume provides a brief history of allelopathy and goes on to explore its importance in environmental health and sustainable agriculture, discussing allelopathy from a biotechnological point of view.

A combination of review and research chapters written by experts from around the globe, this volume reviews synthetic pesticides and the environmental pollution associated with them and also looks at allelochemicals as useful bioactive secondary metabolites. It discusses allelopathy induction in crops by natural selection, the main pathways involved in allelochemical production, and plant breeding in allelopathy. The volume also considers the theme of allelopathy and agricultural sustainability, covering plant-based anthelmintic as a new trend to combat helminth infections, the role of microorganisms, the application of allelochemicals against phytopathogens, the role of nanoparticles on fenugreek growth, biotic and salinity stress alleviation in fenugreek, and more. It also reviews genetic engineering approaches to allelopathy. Several chapters discuss the allelopathic potential of specific crops, such as Leucaena leucocephala, Smilax brasiliensis Sprengel (Smilacaceae), and Solanum lycocarpum A. St. -Hil. (Solanaceae).

Offering a valuable overview of allelochemicals as important eco-friendly tools for sustainable agriculture, this volume provides useful information for research scientists, agricultural and botany professionals, as well as faculty and students in the fields of allelopathy, environmental sciences, agriculture, and biotechnology.
