Nanomaterials for Bioreactors and Bioprocessing Applications explores the potential of nanomaterials in improving the efficiency of bioprocessing industries and next-generation bioreactors. The book provides information on various newly synthesized nanomaterials in bioreactors for scaling up the bioprocess to an industrial level, the criteria and properties of nanomaterials to be used in bioprocessing, advantages and challenges while using the nanomaterials, and economic constraints. In addition, the book also discusses the fate of various nanomaterials in the bioprocess, the chances of product contamination, and its prevention.

This book is an important reference source for materials scientists and biomedical engineers seeking information on the synthesized nanomaterials that are available for bioreactors and bioprocesses, and the various optimized conditions and precautions to be taken.
