Significant Role of Floral System in Developing Silver Nanoparticles

Rohit Kumar, M. S. Rawat, S. S. Sirohi

Abstract


The upcoming age of Nanotechnology is considered the primary book on the topic of nanotechnology. It consists of processing of separation, consolidation and deformation of materials by one atom or by one molecule. There are two major steps used in nanotechnology are 1) “bottom-up” approach in which materials or devices are built from components and accumulate themselves chemically by the principles of molecular identification 2) “top-down” approach reflects the nano-objects are designed from larger entities without atomic-level control. Nanobiotechnology refers to the crossroads of nanotechnology and biology. This discipline make possible to combine the biological macromolecules into the nanosized materials. Now, technology has blessed us with the ability to adapt these tools, to perform a function that nature has overlooked. Nanoparticles exhibit entirely innovative or improved properties based on particular characteristics such as size, distribution, and morphology. The biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles from plants is increasing every year than compared to gold, copper and platinum nanoparticles. The silver nanoparticles specifically have suitable plasmon resonance frequencies and absorption characteristics to give effective enhancement with visible excitation. Different parts of plants have different biochemical constituents; it would affect the reduction rate, size, shape and size distribution of silver nanoparticles Therefore, further studies will be needed to find out the exact metabolites responsible for bioreduction of silver ions, mechanism of action in various biomedical applications and clinical studies up to marketing. It will overwhelm the side effects caused by the commercially available drug molecules and provide clean-up environment for upcoming generations.
