Biological Materials: Green Source Towards Silver Nanomaterials Synthesis

Abstract

The synthesis of silver nanoparticles is of great importance because of the fact that their application is sensitive to the shape, size and its distribution. Bio medical application also demands that nanoparticles should be free from contaminants. Quest for synthetic methods which are benign to both human and environment led researchers to use locally available biogenic products for silver nanoparticle synthesis. Present review article, is based on the available literature on the use of microorganisms and plants for silver nanoparticle synthesis. Also the factors affecting the synthesis, role of phyto chemicals and proposed application of synthesized nanoparticles have been reported.

Biogenic Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Plant Waste Material

“…Properties of AgNP are known to be affected by the shape, size, and size distribution. 3 With growing application field, there is a pressure to develop synthetic methods of AgNP with a suitable shape, size, and functionality. There are two approaches for synthesis -the top down and bottom up; achieved either through physical or chemical methods.…”

“…[9][10][11][12] Recently many researchers have adopted green synthetic methods of synthesis of AgNP which is a chemical method based on the use of natural materials like plant products, polymers and microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, and virus) and plants. 3 Biopolymers have the ability to reduce metal ion, enable the synthesis of nanoparticle of controlled shape and size and stabilize them by coordinating. 13 Lignin is a complex biopolymer present in the support tissue of plants and provides rigidity.…”

Green Route Synthesis of Silver Nano Particles Using Leaf Extracts of Melaleuca leucadendra

“…Medicinal plants are utilized as a part of extensive extents nowadays in view of the enduring change against maladies after natural treatment [17]. In this exploration silver nano particles have been combined utilizing the green course by utilizing the fluid leaf concentrates of Melaleuca leucadendra regularly called paper bark tree [18].…”
