  • First Online:
Green Nanomaterials as Potential Antimicrobials

Abstract

Nanomaterials have gained prominence in technological advancements that comprise a diverse range of examples exhibiting at least one dimension in the range of 1–100 nm. The rational design of nanomaterials can result in the creation of surfaces with astronomically large surface area. Micro- and nanoscale materials can be created with unique features in the areas of magnetism, electrical conductivity, optical transmission, mechanical strength, and catalysis that are substantially exclusive from their bulk-sized counterparts. Innovative advancements in science and engineering have advanced at a breakneck pace toward the fabrication of nanomaterials, which can exhibit exceptional properties that are distinct from those of bulk materials. Recently, nanofabrication has emerged as a crucial field of study, with applications ranging from increasing material characteristics to precise clinical diagnostics and detection. It also has applications in creating high energy densities that may be used to generate pulse power, developing innovative therapeutic mechanisms, and controlling environmental pollution. Following the continuous progress in the different manufacturing techniques, the production of extremely sensitive nanostructure-based devices has been possible for quite some time now. There are several key nanofabrication techniques that may be used to fabricate nanostructures in this chapter, as well as current breakthroughs in this subject, which are discussed in depth.
