Synthesis of Bionanomaterials Using Different Extracts

Current advances in biobased nanomaterial composites are garnering interest due to their potential applications all around the world. Synthesis of bionanomaterials involves a variety of techniques using chemical and physical methods that are gradually being replaced by a biological approach or “green synthesis” as a beneficial alternative while investigating the optimal use of nanoparticles as anticancer, antibacterial, and antifungal therapeutics and in drug delivery. Researchers are leaning toward green nanoparticle manufacturing as a more environmentally friendly approach, as concerns about the effects that synthetic nanoparticles have on the environment are on the rise. This approach has so far yielded a huge number of distinct materials with exquisite morphology and diverse functionality. Biological extract nanoparticles are derived from a variety of macro- and microscopic species, including bacteria, fungi, algae, and plants. These biocompatible extracts have reversed the harmful effects of synthetic nanoparticles. This chapter presents an overview of the synthesis of bionanomaterials using different extracts.
