Scope of eco-friendly nanoparticles for anti-microbial activity

Abstract

Natural sources have been being used against different diseases from the ancient time. In this modern era the necessity of these sources is not negligible. They can be synthesized and characterized depending upon the human needs. Nanoparticles derived from these sources have the potentiality against the viruses. This paper reviews the synthesis of nanoparticles from plant for possible anti-microbial activities. Different types of characterization processes had been discussed. Then the properties of nanoparticles had been described and classified in function of their applications.Antimicrobial activities of plant extracted nanoparticles with their applications have been discussed briefly. Some challenges have been discussed on relation to the process optimization and properties improvement.
