This brief describes various methods of chitosan nano-materials
synthesis, with detailed discussion of various factors effecting
its synthesis process, stability and physicochemical properties.
Chitosan is naturally occurring biopolymer derived from
chitin. Due to the unique biological properties of chitosan
nano-materials such as antimicrobial, plant growth inducer, plant
defense modulator, chitosan has gained attention in
fields of plant sciences. Book further extended the details of
different types of chitosan nano-materials specially for plant
applications along with its future prospects in plant protection
and growth. Bioactivities of chitosan nano-materials and its
mechanism have also been covered. This book aims to widening the
understanding of the synthesis, characterization and use of
chitosan based nano-materials in plant system.
