“…Stunning growth in this emerging technology has opened novel fundamental and applied frontiers, including the synthesis of nanomaterial and utilization of their physicochemical and optoelectronic properties [9]. The application of nanotechnology has increased in large number of areas such as optics, mechanics, chemical industries, space industries, electronics, energy science, single electron transistors, light emitters, nonlinear optical devices, photo-electrochemical, catalysis, biomedical, cosmetics, drug/gene delivery, and food and feed [10][11][12][13][14]. Among various nanoparticles used for all the above-mentioned purposes, the metallic AgNPs are contemplated as the most promising, as they possess remarkable antimicrobial properties due to their greater surface area to volume ratio, which is of curiosity for researchers due to the growing microbial resistance against metal ions and antibiotics and the development of resistant strains [15].…”
