Abstract
Nanotechnology is one of the new-fangled technologies, refers to the development of devices, structures, and systems whose size varies from 1 to 100 nanometers (nm). The last decade has seen advancement in every side of nanotechnology such as nanoparticles fabrication nanolayers and coats; electrical, optic and mechanical nanodevices, and nanostructured biological. Nanoparticles are being used in different fields including electrical, biological textile and chemistry in which shape and size of colloidal metal particles play crucial role in different application including preparation of magnetic, electronic devices, wound healing, antimicrobial gene expression and in the preparation of bio composites. Noble metal colloids have the optical, catalytically electromagnetic properties which are dependent on size and shape of the particles. The synthesis processes for the preparation of colloidal nanoparticles with controlled morphology is crucial. The emergence of nanotechnology has provided an extensive research in recent years by intersecting with various other branches of science and forming impact on all forms of life.
