Green synthesis of novel metal oxide nanoparticles

Nanotechnology can be defined as the design, characterization, fabrication, and application of structures by controlling structure and measurement at a nanometer scale (1 to 100 nm). Nanoparticles (NPs) research is presently an area of intense scientific research due to its wide applications in every field like medicine, electronics, cosmetics, health care, food products, diagnostics, tissue regeneration, biosensors household appliances etc. NPs can be generally classified into two categories such as organic and inorganic. Organic NPs comprises carbon NPs (organic molecules) and the other one is inorganic NPs which include magnetic, noble metal NPs. Out of all these types of NPs, metal oxide seems to have concerned the most interests in terms of their potential application. Indeed, the extensive use of metal oxides in Nano-size form from household paints to artificial prosthetic devices has imparted substantial effects on our daily life. This book is focused mainly on green synthesis of novel metal oxide NPs like silver oxide, zinc oxide, copper oxide their anticancer, antimicrobial, cytotoxic studies and their potential applications in biomedical and agro bio in particular
