The use of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) in various fields is increasing day-by-day leading to a genuine concern about the issues related to their environmental and biological safety. The major approaches for the synthesis of NPs include physical and chemical methods which are expensive and hazardous to health in addition to being toxic to the environment. This review highlights the potential of plant extracts to carry out the synthesis of MNPs with a special emphasis on the role of flavonoids in nanosynthesis. This green and clean approach have been actively utilized in recent years as an alternative to conventional hazardous approaches. It has proved as cost-effective, non-toxic, less time and labor consuming, efficient, and eco-friendly method for the synthesis of MNPs with specific biological actions. This review also focuses on the role of polyphenols, including the flavonoids as bioreductants of metal salts for the synthesis of NPs along with their biomedical applications. Various examples of the MNPs, along with their biological actions, have also been summarized.

In this work, we showed that metal salts were easily deposited as aggregates (e.g., ultrathin planar microcrystals) on the surface of TiO 2- gel films in the absence of ion-exchange sites. In contrast, metal ions were efficiently incorporated into ultrathin TiO 2- gel films, when ion-exchange sites were created using Mg ( O - Et )2 as template. A variety of metal ions, including those of main group, transition, and lanthanide elements were successfully doped into TiO 2 thin films by the current approach. Probable distribution of the ion-exchange site in the film interior was discussed.

SummaryWe have investigated the role of pH in the destabilization of milk and sodium caseinate solutions by ethanol. Ethanol shifted the pH of minimum stability of both caseinate and milk to higher values. A linear relation between this pH and the reciprocal dielectric constant of the mixture was observed. The addition of calcium to these alcoholic mixtures also increased the pH of minimum stability. The results are discussed in terms of the alcohol-induced shifts in the pK values of important constituent amino acids and of the effect of alcohol on soluble Ca levels.

It is shown that the strong curvature in some plots of proton chemical shift σ versus the Onsager reaction field E can be removed by plotting the shifts of the solute molecule versus the square root of the dielectric constant of the medium. The resulting values of k in the equation σ = −kE cos θ are fairly consistent and reasonable in magnitude.
