Application of Nanoparticles

Abstract

In this chapter we discuss the applications of bionanoparticles (BNP) in biomedical and environmental fields. In the biomedical field, these nanoparticles have been investigated for antimicrobial applications, biosensing, imaging, and drug delivery. In the environmental field, nanoparticles have been investigated for applications in bioremediation of diverse contaminants, water treatment, and production of clean energy. Overall, the BNP have attracted the attention of diverse researchers because their syntheses are more environmentally friendly, produces more homogeneously distributed nanoparticles and some of them can be easily biodegradable. Although there are several studies investigating the application of BNP, these nanomaterials are still way less studied than synthetic nanoparticles, since researchers are still identifying the microbiological synthetic pathways of these BNP. It is expected that with the advancement of the understanding of BNP synthesis pathways, the application of BNP will expand to many more fields than biomedical and environmental and will be potentially applied in diverse nanotechnological industries.
