Abstract
- Today, nanotechnology generates a significant amount of interest among researchers because of the vast array of applications it provides for addressing various aspects of the eco-system. Additionally, it enables researchers to traverse the boundaries of a more specialized area of study than an already well-established one. It is an interdisciplinary field of study that focuses on the production and manipulation of nanoscale materials via scaling down the particle size scale from micrometers to nanometers (1–100 nm). They provide excellent options in the fields of health, industry, and medicine as they present a new vision for the treatment of medical conditions thanks to the fact that the particle size may be reduced, which gives them a distinct prospective characteristic. Researchers continue to be interested in finding new uses for metal nanoparticles (NPs) as the field of nanotechnology advances since these particles display distinctive properties. The public is interested in several different types of metal nanoparticles, including silver NPs. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are versatile materials that have many potential applications. Some examples include spectrally selective coatings for solar energy absorption, intercalation material for electrical batteries, optical receptors, catalysts in chemical processes, and so on. Lots of studies have focused on silver nanoparticles because of their potential biological applications, such as their antibacterial and antifungal properties. Recent developments and trends in the field of AgNPs for use in biomedical applications are the main focus of this review. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
