One area of particular interest is their use for more sustainable development of metal nanoparticles. Biopolymer-based Metal Nanoparticle Chemistry for Sustainability Applications, Volume 1 reviews key polymers found in nature, their characterization and modification, and processes for using them in the development of metal nanoparticles.
Beginning with an introduction to both green chemistry and biopolymers in Part 1, the book goes on to outline the classification of biopolymers in Part 2, with specific details on polysaccharides, proteins and polypeptides, lignin, and polylactic acid. Properties of biopolymers, including biodegradability and toxicity, are the focus of Part 3, before Part 4 goes on to discuss synthesis and characterization.
- Reviews novel sources of polymers with high potential as green media for synthesizing nanostructures
- Provides technological details on the synthesis of natural polymer-based metal nanoparticles
- Highlights the use of natural polymer supports and the impact of their properties on stability, morphology and scale of nanostructures
Physical, green and materials chemists, Materials scientists and engineers, Polymer researchers and developers, Environmental scientists and all those working in related fields across academia and industry

Mahmoud Nasrollahzadeh
Dr. Mahmoud Nasrollahzadeh is an Associate Professor and the Director of the Nanobiotechnology Laboratory at the University of Qom. Mahmoud’s research explores the synthesis of biowaste and nature-inspired (nano)materials and advanced functional porous materials for environmental applications, catalysis, and energy conversion. He received several national awards from his country including the 2021 Abu Rayhan Prize from the Iranian Academy of Sciences for the Top Young Chemist of Iran and the 2020 Distinguished Researcher Award from the Iran Science Elites Federation. In 2023, He visited Technische Universität Dresden (TUD), Germany, as a guest researcher under a Senior Research Fellowship to carry out research on lignin-based materials. At present, he is the scientific advisor of industry and has received research funding from different institutions and corporate entities. His passion is mentoring and developing young scientists and technical personnel.
