Lipid-polymerhybridnanoparticles(LPHNPs)arenext-generationcore-shellnanostructures,conceptuallyderivedfrombothliposomeandpolymericnanoparticles (NPs)whereapolymercoreissurroundedbyalipidlayer.Lipidpolymerhybrid nanomaterialscouldpossiblybeutilizedtoinsertDNAorRNAmaterialsaswell asadiagnosticimagingagent(Zhaoetal.,2018).However,thedesignandpreparationofmultifunctionalhybridnanomaterialsremaindifficultandtheirintroduction intofunctionalapplicationsisnotyetadequate.Consequently,itisextremelydesirabletodiscovermodernnanomanufacturingandscale-upnanotechnologytodesign andproducecomplexmultifunctionalhybridnanomaterialswithsuperiorfunctionality(Zhouetal.,2019).Theobjectiveofthisbookistodiscoversynthesisandcharacterizationmethodsandtheapplicabilityofuniquehybridmaterialsformulated withorganic-inorganicsuchasbi/multimetallic,hybridmetallicnanoparticles, andcarbonorpolymer-metalhybridsintheenvironmental,food,andagriculturesectors.Thisbookwillofferthetargetaudienceageneralviewofthemostup-to-date applicationsandprospectsofmultifunctionalhybridnanomaterialsforsustainable agri-foodandecosystems.
