Synthesis of silver and gold nanoparticles using methods of green chemistry
Journal Title: CHEMIK nauka-technika-rynek - Year 2013, Vol 67, Issue 10
Abstract
Together with the development of various fields of industry it started to pay attention to environmental degradation by-products formed as a result of technological processes. Thus, research on minimizing the use of toxic substances and replace them with natural ones in various sectors of the economy has been stimulated. In this way, the trend called “green chemistry” was created. Also it had begun to be used in nanotechnology, especially for the synthesis of nanoparticles. Due to that, substances normally occurring in the organisms of plants and animals have been used more often. This article introduces silver and gold nanoparticles synthesis via natural methods followed by modification of their surfaces.
