Eco-Friendly Greener Synthesis of Nanoparticles

Brahamdutt Bhardwaj et al. Adv Pharm Bull. 2020 Sep.

Abstract

The exploitation of naturally obtained resources like biopolymers, plant-based extracts, microorganisms etc., offers numerous advantages of environment-friendliness and biocompatibility for various medicinal and pharmaceutical applications, whereas hazardous chemicals are not utilized for production protocol. Plant extracts based synthetic procedures have drawn consideration over conventional methods like physical and chemical procedures to synthesize nanomaterials. Greener synthesis of nanomaterials has become an area of interest because of numerous advantages such as non-hazardous, economical, and feasible methods with variety of applications in biomedicine, nanotechnology and nano-optoelectronics, etc.

Keywords: Antimicrobial activities; Eco-friendly methods; Nano-biotechnology; Nanoparticles; Polysaccharides.
