Green Chemistry Approaches for Sustainable Synthesis of Organic Nanomaterials
摘要
Organic nanomaterialsOrganic nanomaterials play an important role in scientific research due to their small sizeSize, biodegradable nature, and better encapsulationEncapsulation ofNanomaterial encapsulation materials. Organic nanomaterialsOrganic nanomaterials are made up of organicOrganic compounds having sizesSize in the range of 10 nm–1 µm. LiposomesLiposomes, dendrimersDendrimers, micellesMicelles, ferritinFerritin, nanogelsNanogels, and polymeric nanoparticlesPolymeric nanoparticle fall under the category of organic nanomaterialsOrganic nanomaterials. These nanomaterialsNanomaterial have wide applicationsApplications in various fields such as the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industriesCosmetic industry. Different methodsMethods are used for the synthesisSynthesis of organic nanomaterialsOrganic nanomaterials such as top-downTop-down synthesisSynthesis and bottom-upBottom-up synthesisSynthesis. Other techniquesTechnique contributing to green synthesisGreen synthesis are microwaveMicrowave-assisted synthesisSynthesis, ultrasound-assisted synthesisSynthesis, enzymeEnzyme catalysisCatalysis, and solvent-free synthesisSynthesis. In addition to this, the use of renewable resourcesRenewable resources, plant extractPlant extract, green solventsGreen solvent such as ethanol and water, and energyEnergy-efficient procedures (sonochemistry and mechanochemistry) also play an important role in sustainable approachesApproach for the synthesisSynthesis of nanomaterialsNanomaterial. This chapter addressed the green chemistryGreen chemistry approachesApproach like reverse phase evaporation, emulsificationEmulsification, self-assemblySelf-assembly and using biological processes for the synthesisSynthesis of organic nanomaterialsOrganic nanomaterials. The green synthesisGreen synthesis of organic nanomaterialsOrganic nanomaterials offers possible advantages, i.e., increasing product performance with novel structures and morphologiesMorphology and preventing harm to the environmentEnvironment and human healthHealth. These developments highlight the potential of green synthetic methodsMethods to contribute to sustainable development within material science.
