Metal Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Characterization, and Biomedical Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Nanomaterials

Abstract

Metallic nanoparticles have attracted the attention of researchers worldwide because of their fascinating optical, electrical, magnetic, and catalytic properties. Metallic nanoparticles have an easy surface modification chemistry to attach various molecules such as ligands, targeting agents, biomolecules, drugs, and antibodies. Because of the different properties and easy modification chemistry, these nanoparticles have wide-ranging applications, including biomedical, solar, catalysis, etc. This chapter will focus on metallic nanoparticles, specifically gold nanoparticles, for biomedical applications.
