“…And because of these results Ag nanoparticles have been incorporated into a number of pharmaceutical preparations and wound dressings. [22][23] Future development and incorporation of Ag nanoparticles as antimicrobial agents in pharmaceutical products will require close control of particle size, morphology and particle stability. Furthermore, bioinspired synthesis of Ag nanoparticles via plants avoids contaminating particles with harmful chemicals and solvents traditionally used in conventional chemical and physical methods.…”

“…In a study it was found that silver nanoparticles polypropylene mesh had significant bactericidal efficacy against S. aureus. Furthermore, it was shown that silver nanoparticles could continue to diffuse off the mesh and had sustained activity (Cohen et al, 2007). These results clearly warrant that silver nanoparticles-coated polypropylene mesh can decrease the prosthetic infection rate and the host inflammatory response in the clinical setting.…”

Nanotechnology has rapidly developed as an important field of modern research, generating most promising applications in electronics and medicine. It involves different approaches for the synthesis and application of nanoparticles having dimension smaller than 100 nm. Nanoparticles are the fundamental building blocks for preparing many nanostructured materials and devices. Therefore, there is an enormous interest in developing safe, cost effective and ecofriendly techniques for synthesis of nanoparticles. Biological synthesis has emerged as an attractive alternative to overcome the side effects accompanied with physical and chemical methods of synthesis. This led to the development of new branch of nanotechnology called "green nanotechnology" or "nanobiotechnology" which combines biological principles with physical and chemical procedures to generate eco-friendly nanosized particles with specific functions. Various biological entities could be employed for the biosynthesis of nanoparticles including plant, algae, fungi, yeast, bacteria and viruses. Recently, much attention has been given on exploring fungi as potent biofactories for synthesis of silver nanoparticles since they possess numerous bioactive properties which find variety of applications in the field of biomedicine. Its use in the form of effective antimicrobial agent and disinfectant is known since time immemorial. The present chapter emphasize on the richness of endophytic fungal diversity and their role in biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles. It gives detailed overview about the mechanism of synthesis, characterization techniques involved in analysis of silver nanoparticles and biomedical application of silver nanoparticles with special reference to their antimicrobial potential.

“…Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fabricated with silver nanoparticle are used in joint replacement components, the silver nanoparticle that reduces the wear and tear of the polyethylene polymer [37]. The surgical meshes that made of silver nanoparticle coated polypropylene are used as an ideal candidate for surgical meshes due to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory properties [38].…”

Abstract:-Nanotechnology is an emerging field with diverse applications in pharmacy, medicine, industries and environments. Among nanosized particles, the inorganic nanoparticles posses unique physical and chemical properties. These nanoparticles and their composites are useful for the wide range of applications. This review aims to provide a consolidated assessment of silver nanoparticle and silver nanocomposites in various fields. Among nanoparticles, silver nanoparticle exhibits antimicrobial activities and prominent in diverse applications. The nanosilver composites by coating of chemical material, agricultural residues, other matrices etc., have been used for the development of new materials that could be conveniently used in house cleaning solutions, fabric cleaners, wound bandages, paints, ornamental glasses, electronics circuits, fridge, washing machines and cosmetics, etc., Similarly, silver nanoparticle can also be functionalized with various groups of commercial adsorbents and agricultural residues to increase their affinity towards target compounds and used as a selective sorbents for metal ions and anions.
