Nanotechnology. Synthesis techniques of silver nanoparticles - Paperback

by Syed Hussain Haider Rizvi (Author), Muhammad Shafiq (Author), Humaira Khatoon (Author)

In modern days, Nanotechnology is in wide use in various domains of scientific science. It deals with the Nanoparticles having a size of 1-100 nm in one dimension used significantly concerning medical chemistry, atomic physics, among other scientific disciplines. The synthesis of nanomaterials is of current interest due to their wide variety of applications in fields such as electronics, photonics, catalysis, medicine, etc. The applications of nanotechnology are growing owing to the fact that matter at the nanometer scale has different properties as compared with the bulk state. For this reason, many research groups around the world are trying new methods of synthesis of different materials at the nanoscale. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been the matters of researchers due to their unique properties (e.g. size and shape depending optical, antimicrobial, and electrical properties).
