About this book

This book is the second volume on this topic within the series.  With unique properties, nanomaterials are rapidly finding novel applications in many fields such as food, medicine, agriculture and pollution.  Such applications include to treat cancer, nanosensors to detect food contamination, nanomaterials for food packaging, nanoencapsulation to preserve nutraceuticals, and nanofertilisers for advanced agriculture.  After an introductory chapter on property rights of nanomaterials, readers will discover the applications of nanotechnology in food, health, environment, ecotoxicology and agriculture.
