متن کاملPolysaccharides and phytochemicals: a natural reservoir for the green synthesis of gold and silver nanoparticles.
Currently, sustainability initiatives that use green chemistry to improve and/or protect our global environment are becoming focal issues in many fields of research. Instead of using toxic chemicals for the reduction and stabilisation of metallic nanoparticles, the use of various biological entities has received considerable attention in the field of nanobiotechnology. Among the many possible n...
متن کاملMonodisperse magnetic nanoparticles for biodetection, imaging, and drug delivery: a versatile and evolving technology.
Advances in nanotechnology have pushed forward the synthesis of a variety of functional nanoparticles (NPs) such as semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), magnetic and metallic NPs. The unique electronic, magnetic, and optical properties exhibited by these nanometer-sized materials have enabled a broad spectrum of biomedical applications. In particular, iron-oxide-based magnetic NPs have proved to b...
متن کاملBiosynthesis and application of silver and gold nanoparticles
Nanotechnology has dynamically developed as an important field of modern research with potential effects in electronic and medicine (Glomm 2005, Chan 2006, Boisselier and Astruc 2009). Nanotechnology can be defined as a research for the design, synthesis, and manipulation of structure of particles with dimension smaller than 100nm. A new branch of nanotechnology is nanobiotechnology. Nanobiotec...
متن کاملNanoparticles for photoacoustic imaging.
Nanoparticles have been designed and applied as contrast enhancers in various optical imaging techniques, such as optical coherence tomography, fluorescence imaging, and optical reflectance microscopy. As an emerging hybrid imaging modality, photoacoustic imaging (PAI) has also benefited from the application of these nanoparticle-based contrast agents. We review this rapidly growing field and d...
