Metallic Nanoparticles for Health and the Environment

Covers different routes of synthesis to create metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) of different characteristics with reference to bulk forms of metals Describes formulation parameters that have significant effect in these MNPs including dimensions, morphology, mechanism, surface properties and other characteristics Discusses different roles and performances of MNPs in photo-thermal therapy, metabolic disorders, mechanism in bacterial, fungal, and viral infections and inflammatory pathways Reviews potential and emerging roles of different MNPs with site target delivery applications and genetic manipulation purposes Examines advantages and challenges of these MNPs against remediation of pollutants and toxicants, owing to superior surface catalytic activities
