Academic publisher SAGE has announced that it will begin publishing the International Journal of Green Nanotechnology, an interdisciplinary journal that focuses on the critical issues related to physics, chemistry, biology, materials science, medicine, engineering and the technological aspects of Green Nanotechnology. The journal will continue to be published under the editorial leadership of Dr. Kattesh V. Katti, globally recognised as the "Father of Green Nanotechnology."
Green nanotechnology is a rapidly-developing field of study at the interface of chemistry, physics, engineering, and biology. It explores how environmentally benign or "green" nanotechnological processes are developed to facilitate the design of new products that are made from more eco-friendly materials, including plants and crops, using processes that employ less energy and generate less waste throughout the product lifecycle.
Research published in the International Journal of Green Nanotechnology facilitates in the design and development of nanoparticles that contribute to the creation of smart electronic materials, life-saving nanopharmaceuticals, environmental restoration technologies, and alternative green energy production devices.
