Abstract

Silver nanoparticles in the range from 1 to 100 nm are widely used in industrial applications as catalysis, electronics, and photonics, and they have unique properties such as optical, electrical, and magnetic characteristics that can be used as antimicrobial, biosensor textile, cosmetics, composite fibers, and electronic components and to amend shelf life of food substances. The main objective of the present review was to focus on formulation methods of silver nanoparticles with recent advances and future aspects. Silver nanoparticle shows very high potential towards biological applications. Several physicals, chemical, and various biological techniques have been employed to synthesize and stabilize silver nanoparticles. For the manufacture of silver nanoparticles, multiple methods, including chemical simplification with different natural and inorganic decreasing agents, physicochemical reduction, electrochemical procedures, and radiolysis, are employed. Silver nanoparticles are the single most manufacturer-identified material that can be used in all nanotechnology products. They can be used in food packing polymers to enhance the shelf lifespan. The present review is aimed at different types of synthesis and details of silver nanoparticles used as drug delivery vehicles, antibacterial activity, toxicity, recent advances, and future aspects.

Summary

Introduction

A nanospeck is defined as a small object or a speck that acts as a whole unit in terms of its conveyed properties. The physical and chemical properties of nanomaterials can alter from those of the same material in colossal bulk class; nanosubatomic particles have one attribute in the reach of 1 to 100 nm. These are utilized in nutrition handling, surgical, promotional material, wound dressing, computing devices, recollection implements, water purifiers, textiles, cosmetics, and contact lens. Silver nanoparticles are the unity most produceridentified material that can be used in all the nanotechnology products. They can be used in food packing polymers to enhance the shelf life of food [1]. This review highlights silver nanoparticles used as drug delivery vehicles, toxicity pathways, recent advances, and future aspects of silver nanoparticles
