Biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles and potential applications: An eco-friendly approach

Abstract

The uprising in materials science has been hosted by previous few decades. There has been a substantial research interest in the area of using particulate systems to accomplish various approaches. The conception or synthesis of material with nanometer-scale precision (nanoparticles), by means of material science, is nanotechnology. Nanoparticles are defined as particulate dispersal or solid particles, with a size in the range of 1-100 nm. This review intends to present biosynthesis and application of nanoparticles in minutiae. Here, we discussed different synthesis methods, i.e. chemical, physical and biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles. The potential come together between nanotechnology and biological science is enormous. Realistic biologics depends on units that have nanoscale dimensions (proteins, viruses, molecular motors, extra cellular matrix). Our major dictum is to focus the various facet of synthesis of nanoparticles, characterization, and its imperative application by giving accent on biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles. © 2013 Ingale AG, et al.
