Editor-in-Chief:
Kattesh Katti
This is the first journal to focus specifically on the crucial scientific, engineering, industrial, and logistical challenges of developing green nanotechnologies for applications in medicine, materials science, environmental science, and alternate energy production. “Nanotechnological developments are poised to impact every aspect of human civilization from smart sensors to sophisticated life saving pharmaceuticals. The International Journal of Green Nanotechnology promotes an awareness of the environmental and human health implications of nanotechnology as this emerging field continues to reveal unprecedented scientific and technological advances.” —Doctor Kattesh Katti, Executive Editor, International Journal of Green Nanotechnology “Agricultural and medical sciences must connect with emerging areas of science and technology; the International Journal of Green Nanotechnology, edited by Professor Kattesh V. Katti, is an important means of establishing this connection between nanotechnology and green science.” —Dr. Norman Ernest Borlaug, Humanitarian and Nobel Laureate For more information on this unique publication and details on subscribing, please visit: www.informaworld.com/GreenNano Submissions Welcome!
