The World ◽

The world is going green; hence, environmentally friendly practices that would conserve natural resources for the future generation are encouraged. As a consequence, the world is less concerned about the numerous applications of nanotechnology, especially in the health sector; rather, it is more concerned about the sustainability of functionalized nanomaterials. Thus, the future of nanotechnology depends on its ability to ‘go green'. Green nanotechnology attempts to synthesize improved, nontoxic, and biocompatible nanomaterials with sustainable benefits using eco-friendly materials. Although green nanotechnology is considered a sustainable, viable, and biocompatible approach to the production of eco-friendly nanomaterials, there are shortcomings especially in microbial handling and process optimization. In this chapter, the authors aim to appraise not only the use of biocompatible approaches for the synthesis of nanoparticles and/or nanomaterials but also their shortcomings.

Synthesis Of Nanomaterials

The development of reliable and eco-friendly metallic nanoparticles needs some consideration on the chemical procedures involved in the synthesis of nanomaterials. The conventional methods in the production of metallic nanoparticles generate a large amount of hazardous byproducts. Thus, there is a need for ‘green chemistry’ that includes a clean, nontoxic and environment-friendly method of nanoparticle synthesis [1]. As an alternative, biological methods are considered safe and ecologically sound for the nanomaterial fabrication [2]. Therefore, in this review special attention is focused on the biosynthesis of nanoparticles from natural resources as compared as ordinary chemical method. Biosynthesis of nanoparticles using plant is a new development of green nanotechnology beneficial to environmental and to the plant itself. It also plays a significant role in the field of biology and medicine.
