Silver nanoparticles, Antimicrobial action, nanoparticle synthesis
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Silver nanoparticles are nanoparticles which are in the range of 1 and 100 nm in size. Silver nanoparticles have unique properties which help in molecular diagnostics in therapies and in devices which are used in several medical procedures. The major methods used for silver nanoparticles synthesis are the physical and chemical methods. The problems with the chemical and physical methods are that the synthesis is expensive and also have toxic substances absorbed onto them. To overcome this, biological methods provides a feasible alternative. The major biological system involved in this is bacteria, fungi and plant extracts. The major application of silver nanoparticles in the medical fields includes diagnostics application and therapeutics application. The major and in most of the therapeutic application, it is the antimicrobial property that is being majorly explored though the anti-inflammatory properties has its fair share of applications. Though silver nanoparticles are used in many medical procedures and devices as well as in various biological fields, they have their drawbacks due to nontoxicity. This review provides a comprehensive view on the mechanism of action, synthesis and its application.
