Abstract:Biologically inspired nanoparticle synthesis is currently a rapid expanding area of research in nanotechnology. Nanoparticle synthesis utilizing the bioresources such as plants and microbes appears to be a viable, low-cost, and eco-friendly approach. Especially mushrooms can be used for largescale synthesis of silver nanoparticles as mushroom produces many proteins that reduce the silver nitrate during the biosynthesis. Silver nanoparticles can be characterized using ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) spectroscopy, … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
