About this Research Topic
The development of nanotechnology since the conception of new tools and techniques addressing real-world problems in water treatment, healthcare, and food security has made significant breakthroughs for many scientists and policymakers. With the global challenge of a sustainable society, a circular economy, especially involving bio-based materials, is one of the key strategies to addressing industrial and local avoidance of waste and closing its process loop.
Sustainable circular economy using nanotechnology intervention in renewable energies, agricultural practices, and production of bioplastic materials are few of the not-so-well-explored and understood areas. Sustainable alternative resources for solar and optoelectrical devices are among the current challenges in the renewable energies. Nanomaterials in the growth, formulations, and applications of environment-friendly approaches are key challenges in the Agricultural sector. Furthermore, utilizing green nanomaterials for bioplastics applications is one sought-after solution in combatting problematic plastic problems.
This research topic aims to explore the advancement of nanotechnology in actualizing circular economy strategies as a sustainable means in research for renewable energies and their application in agriculture and bioplastics. This issue focuses on sustainable paths of nanomaterials for renewable energies, agriculture and bioplastic applications. Thus, it will contain new and modified processes of synthesizing, characterizing, and applying different nanomaterials to produce nanocomposites functional for energy, agriculture, and bio-based plastics. Moreover, this book aims to present how circular economy nanotech is superior to linear economy. It will also identify its advantages and disadvantages as a model for circular economy in industries.
We welcome the submission of Original Research, Review, Mini Review, and Perspective articles on themes including, but not limited to:
• Synthesis of nanomaterials through “circular economy concepts
• Characterization of bio-nanocomposites
• Nanotechnology-based bioplastics
• Nanotechnology-based agriculture
• Nanotechnology-based solar cells
• Nanotechnology-based optoelectonics
• Modification of green nanomaterials
• Applications of green nanomaterials in renewable energies
• Application of green nanomaterials in agriculture
• Application of green nanomaterials in bioplastics
Dr. Keyla M Fuentes declares that she is associated with and receives funds from the private company Spora Biotech, based on Santiago de Chile.
