Biobased Nanomaterials

Abstract

Demand for energy and materials has significantly increased as a result of the rapid growth of the global population. Consequently, natural resources have become insufficient and environmental problems such as global warming and pollution are on the rise. Today, while practical studies are being carried out on environmentally friendly, nontoxic processes, attempts are also being made to protect the current living standards. Biobased nanomaterials are considered one of the potential means to overcome these challenges. It is therefore extremely important to fully understand the terms nano and bio-based. In this section, first, some terms that cause conceptual confusion will be explained, and, then, brief information will be provided about the usage areas, classification, and synthesis mechanisms of bionanomaterials.
