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 2 reviews key uses of biopolymers and biopolymer-based metal nanoparticles for a range of key sustainability-focused applications. After providing contextual examples of applications across the fields of food science, biomedicine and biochemistry, the book goes on to explore further sustainability-focused applications of Biopolymer-Based Metal Nanoparticles in such important areas as catalysis, environmental science, biosensing, and energy. - Provides an overview of biopolymer-based metal nanoparticles for a wide range of applications - Provides technological details on the synthesis of natural polymer-based metal nanoparticles - Explores the role of biopolymer-based metal nanoparticles for more sustainable catalytic processes

Mahmoud Nasrollahzadeh is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry, University of Qom, Iran. His current research mainly focusses on the organic and organometallic chemistry and design of new synthetic routes to the synthesis of novel organic molecules. In recent years, his research has shifted toward plant-mediated green synthesis of metal and metal oxides nanocatalysts, water treatment, biopolymer-based metal nanoparticle, biomass valorization, and surface modification of colloidal inorganic nanostructures. He has been awarded multiple Iranian and international scientific prizes and has published over 210 publications in high impact international journals, 3 book chapters and 1 book with Elsevier.
