A REVIEW ON SYNTHESIS OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES - A GREEN EXPERTISE
Keywords:
Nanotechnology, Green synthesis, Silver nanoparticlesAbstract
Nanotechnology is a broad interdisciplinary field of science that represents the design, synthesis, characterization and application of materials at nano scale level. Nanoparticles (NPs) are viewed as primary building blocks of nanotechnology. The term “nano scale” is usually referred to a scale between 1-100 nm. Silver and its compound have been widely used since from early time for the treatment of bacteria and wound infections particularly in patients of severe burns. The use of silver compounds has been deteriorated due to emergence of new therapeutic agents. In the past decade nanotechnology has acquired rapidity due to its ability of modifying metals ions into their nano range, which dramatically changes their chemical, physical and optical properties. Biological processes led to eco-friendly method of synthesis and safe process as compared to other methods. In this review, a low-cost and environment friendly technique for synthesis of AgNPs by biological approach was explained.
