Abstract

The main topic of the document is nanotechnology and the use of nanoparticles in various fields. The document introduces nanotechnology and defines nanoparticles as particles with lengths between 1 nm and 100 nm. Nanoparticles are classified as zero-dimensional nanomaterials and have distinct physico-chemical characteristics compared to bulk materials due to their small size and high surface to volume ratio. Nanoparticles have gained attention in technological breakthroughs due to their adjustable properties and potential applications in drug delivery. The document also discusses the different types of nanoparticles, including organic, inorganic, carbon-based, and herbal nanoparticles. Organic nanoparticles, such as micelles and liposomes, are often used for drug delivery. Inorganic nanoparticles, such as silver and gold nanoparticles, find applications in cosmetics and medicine. Carbon-based nanoparticles, including graphene and carbon nanotubes, have various uses in fields such as energy storage and sensors. The document also mentions the use of herbal nanoparticles derived from plant extracts. Additionally, the document highlights the concept of green synthesis, which offers advantages in terms of environmental friendliness and sustainability. Overall, the review provides an overview of the significance and potential applications of nanoparticles in different industries.
