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.

Chapter 1: Intellectual property rights for nanotechnology in agriculture.- Chapter 2: Nanobiotechnology methods to incorporate bioactive compounds in food packaging.- Chapter 3: Nanotechnological applications in food packaging, sensors and bioactive delivery systems.- Chapter 4: Nanoencapsulation of bioactive compounds for nutraceutical food.- Chapter 5: Biofortification of food with minerals and vitamins encapsulated in silica.- Chapter 6: Nanomaterials for monitoring and remediation of water pollution.- Chapter 7: Phytochemically functionalized silver and gold nanoparticles to treat microbes, viruses and cancer.- Chapter 8: Nanotechnology for the detection and diagnosis of plant pathogens.- Chapter 9: Nanoparticle toxicity in water, soil, microbes, plant and animals.- Chapter 10: Nanoparticles in water, soils and agriculture.
