Preface

Inside the biological milieu, nanomaterials come in myriad shapes and sizes and interact with various biomolecules, forming a bio-nano interface. The fate of both nanomaterial and biomolecule depends on the type of interaction at the bio-nano interface. Tremendous research on the bio-nano interface has led to the development of nanomaterials based on various products and applications in biomedical science. In view of the above discussion, this book intends to discuss the interactions of nanomaterials with different biomolecules and the consequences of this interaction in the field of biomedical science. Hence, the book will initially discuss the current state-of-the-art techniques for various nanomaterial formulations. The later chapters of the book will discuss the potential applications of nanomaterials in biomedical sciences and environmental sustainability. The book is a contribution of experts from microbiology, cancer biology, pharmaceutical science, nanotechnology, plant biotechnology, and environmental sciences. The book will discuss some novel applications of nanomaterials in the field of biomedical and environment.

The book, in total, comprises 11 chapters written by experts working in the respective aspects of nanotechnology. For instance, Chapters 1, 2 and 3 describe various methods for the synthesis of nanomaterials for different applications. Chapter 4 describes the roles of nanomaterials in various disease diagnosis. The applications of nanomaterials in various biomedical sectors are discussed in Chapters 5, 6, and 7. Chapters 8 discuss the application of nanomaterials in cancer therapy. Chapter 9 interprets artificial intelligence and nanotechnology-integrated recent applications in early lung cancer detection and therapy. Various environmental applications of nanomaterials are discussed in Chapters 10 and 11.

We are very much thankful to all the contributing authors for their timely cooperation and support, without which this book would not have taken its final shape. We are also thankful to the series editors for their critical reviews and positive remarks that brought positive developments to the book.
