Sustainable Applications of Multifunctional Metal and Metal Oxide Nanoparticles provides a comprehensive overview of the synthesis, characterization, and diverse applications of metal and metal oxide nanomaterials. The book first introduces fundamental concepts related to metal and metal oxide nanomaterials, including their synthesis through green methods and the unique physicochemical properties that emerge at the nanoscale. Following chapters review their applications in sustainable technologies, focusing on healthcare and the food industry, including topics such as antimicrobial resistance, biodegradable drug delivery systems, biosensing, and food packaging. The book also discusses agricultural and environmental applications, highlighting improvements in crop production, pest control, and water purification. Advanced materials, such as hybrid nanomaterials combining metal and metal oxides are discussed in the context of sustainability and their integration into IoT and smart technologies. Finally, the book explores the environmental and societal impacts of these nanomaterials, including their roles in energy, sustainable construction, and the circular bioeconomy, while addressing important toxicity considerations. This book is a valuable resource for researchers, scientists, and industry professionals who are interested in the field of nanotechnology and its applications.
