Though there are a numerous methods for chemical synthesis, biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles offers an attractive alternative to chemical synthesis methods. Therefore scientists are continuously engaged in searching hazard free, environment friendly methods of synthesis of nanoparticles with tailor-made structural properties using benign starting materials. Recently several groups have achieved success in the synthesis of Ag, Au, Pd nanoparticles with specific shape and size using extracts obtained from micro-organisms as well as various plant extracts. It will be a highly interesting problem to modify the procedure to develop green-chemical means of synthesizing “tailor-made” monodisperse nanoparticles of single polygonal particle morphology, exclusively. The main objective of this brief article is to give an idea about the most reliable, cost-effective and environment friendly synthetic protocols for metal nanoparticles of different size, shape, composition, and with a high degree of monodispersity.

Microreactor technology is a new concept of chemical synthesis for nanoparticle production. The "state of the art" in microreactor fabrication and its application to the synthesis of nanoparticles is reviewed. The microfluidic concepts, the materials and technologies for microreactor manufacture, with particular emphasis on polymers and microreplication techniques, and their application to the synthesis of various nanomaterials in microreactors are presented. The unique synthesis properties of various nanoparticles using a microfluidic process as well as broader impact in term of nanomaterials engineering, i.e., selectivity and monodispersity, reduced amount of chemicals, fast reaction, minimum cost, a better control of the process, minimum waste and reduced amounts of reaction byproducts and improved safety, are discussed in comparison with the traditional wet-chemical batch synthesis approach.

The development of different eco-friendly technologies in material synthesis is playing its role to expand their biological applications. Nanoparticles are synthesized chemically, but because of their hazardous effects, the researchers have now turned to biological systems for inspiration. There is a growing concern about the possible results of effects of chemical synthesis of nanoparticles. Therefore, the aim of this chapter is to provide an overview of how nanomaterials can be synthesized using green route to play its role in environmental sustainability as green synthesis processes are considered to be a safe alternative to routine processes due to their cost effectiveness, easy to handle, and environmentally friendly nature. In fact, it opens a new scope for phyto-chemists by discouraging the use of toxic chemicals.

Biofilms formation is one of the main reasons for bacterial infections. Microorganisms protect themselves from antibiotics by creating a biofilm barrier. Recent studies have proved that nanoparticles, because of its distinct properties, gained a tremendous medical science approach. Nanoparticles are very promising for drug delivery because of their size having less than 100nm. The main reason for antibiotics delivery to the respected site is their bulk size. This problem can be solved with the help of nanoparticles. Since nanoparticles' chemical synthesis is a hazardous and highly energy consuming process, now a day’s environment-friendly approach, that biological synthesis of nanoparticles is given more importance. In this review, it was provided an overview of biofilm-mediated infections and nanoparticle application towards biofilm-mediated infections.

The importance and need for eco-oriented technologies has increased worldwide, which leads to an enhanced development of methods for the synthesis of nanoparticles using biological agents. This review de-scribes the current approaches to the preparation of biogenic silver nanoparticles, using plant extracts and filtrates of fungi and microorganisms. The peculiarities of the synthesis of particles depending on the source of biocomponents are considered as well as physico-morphological, antibacterial and antifungal properties of the resulting nanoparticles which are compared with such properties of silver nanoparticles obtained by chemical synthesis. Special attention is paid to the process of self-assembly of biogenic silver nanoparticles.
