Biopolymer-Based Metal Nanoparticle Chemistry for Sustainable Applications: Volume 1: Classification, Properties and Synthesis

by Mahmoud Nasrollahzadeh

Overview

Biopolymers are becoming an increasingly important area of research as traditional chemical feedstocks run low and concerns about environmental impacts increase. One area of particular interest is their use for more sustainable development of metal nanoparticles. Biopolymer-based Metal Nanoparticle Chemistry for Sustainability Applications, Volume 1 reviews key polymers found in nature, their characterization and modification, and processes for using them in the development of metal nanoparticles.

Beginning with an introduction to both green chemistry and biopolymers in Part 1, the book goes on to outline the classification of biopolymers in Part 2, with specific details on polysaccharides, proteins and polypeptides, lignin, and polylactic acid. Properties of biopolymers, including biodegradability and toxicity, are the focus of Part 3, before Part 4 goes on to discuss synthesis and characterization.

About the Author

Dr. Mahmoud Nasrollahzadeh received his B.Sc. (2003) in Applied Chemistry and M.Sc. (2007) in Organic Chemistry, before receiving his Ph.D. degree in Organic Chemistry from Bu-Ali Sina University, Iran, in 2012. He then moved to the Chemistry Department at the University of Qom as an Assistant Professor, and soon after was promoted to Associate Professor. His research interests are in the field of organic & organometallic chemistry, polymer-supported metal complexes, chemical biology, phytochemistry, nanobiotechnology, and application of biowastes in the preparation of nano(bio)materials. In 2016, he chaired a national conference and helped create the Center of Environmental Research, a National Centre of Excellence for the regional problems of dusts. Dr. Nasrollahzadeh is a member of the editorial board of several international journals and has published over 260 scientific papers, 46 reviews, 3 book chapters, 2 Elsevier books and 1 patent, as well as editing another book.
