Popis: Biotechnology and bio-nanotechnology are emerging fields that inspire vast scientific and engineering inquiry. Bio-nanotechnology is relatively new and dynamic, applying biological principles to produce new systems and materials at nanoscale level. Eco-friendly nanomaterial development and production by biosynthesis have an interesting niche, where metallic and functionally diverse biosynthesized nanoparticles (bio-NPs) are prepared by exploiting both biological processes in microorganisms and biochemical reactions in plant extracts and other biomass. The major advantage of this approach is one-step chemical reduction and stabilization, with the two principal components providing toxic-free intermediates in the bio-NP genesis. This heralds exciting possibilities for inexpensive NP production and consequent rapid and wide adoption of novel applications, such as incorporation of bio-NPs to augment polymer nanofiber properties.
