Silicon Nanoparticles, Gebunden

Klappentext

This book provides a unified summary of synthesis, uptake, and applications of Silicon Nanoparticles from fundamentals through advanced topics. Special emphasis has been placed on green synthesis of Si / SiO2NPs and their role as drug delivery agent, nanofertilizer and stress reliever. Chapters are highlighted with well-drawn clear figures, flowcharts and tables to make them impressive to the readers with each chapter followed up with future perspectives and a detailed summary.

Topics include Traditional methods of synthesis and characterization of SiNPs for biomedical applications and sustainable Agriculture, Green Synthesis of SiNPs from plants and agricultural residues as new tool for human health and sustainable Agriculture, Microbial Synthesis of SiNPs from plants and agricultural residues as new tool for human health and sustainable Agriculture; Uptake, translocation and consequences of application of Si / SiO2NPs in plants; Si / SiO2NPs as Soil fertility Enhancers, Smart plant delivery agents and Biosensors; Si / SiO2NPs as Drug delivery agent; Role of Si / SiO2NPs in mitigation of biotic stress caused due to herbivory; Silica Nanoparticles Enhance Disease Resistance in Plants; Role of Si / SiO2NPs in mitigation of heavy metal stress; Role of Si / SiO2NPs in mitigation of Heat stress and Drought; Si / SiO2NPs as a versatile tool for the treatment of Cancer; Role of Si / SiO2NPs in the treatment of Dermatitis / Skin disease; Si / SiO2NPs as a versatile tool for the treatment of bacterial infections in human; Si / SiO2NPs based therapies for diagnostic applications; and Si / SiO2NPs as an agent for remediation of contaminated soil and water.
