Abstrakt: Nanoparticles are divided into different categories depending upon their significance in current research. The principle types of nanoparticles are inorganic, organic, and hybrid nanoparticles. Fabrication routes to nanoparticles play an important role to obtain the desired features. Therefore, methods and challenges in preparation of nanoparticles have been discussed. Taking polystyrene into consideration, materials derived from polystyrene and nanoparticles have also been overviewed. Nanoparticle-based nanostructures have been used in numerous technological areas, ranging from catalysis and coatings to biomedicine and optoelectronics, depending upon the final properties. Hence, recent trends and future outlook of nanoparticle-derived materials have been discussed at the end. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
