Metal nanoparticles find ubiquitous applications in diverse disciplines. Especially, the silver nanoparticles presenting interesting applications ranging from pharmaceutics, biocides, fertilizers, solar cell fabrication, orthodontics, and next generation antibiotics rightly crown them as the ‘material of the future’.
The book “SILVER NANOPARTICLES: Synthesis, functionalization and Applications” presents a succinct coverage of the current synthesis protocols, functionalization techniques, and state-of-the-art applications of surface functionalized AgNPs in medical field. The presented book traverses the journey of AgNPs form synthesis paradigm to functionalization, which further extends to the key biological applications.
Furthermore, the book provides useful information for the postgraduate (Master’s and research higher degree) doctoral students and postdoctoral research fellows working on the development of advanced nanostructures and nanopharmaceuticals. This book intends to cover both the academic and research requirements of the students for pursuing course work in various academic degree programs including Physical Sciences, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and various disciplines under the Natural Sciences.
