Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Green synthesis of nanomaterials represents a crucial approach for reducing environmental pollution and promoting sustainable practices within the field of nanotechnology. This method is designed to minimize the use of hazardous chemicals and energy-intensive processes while maximizing the use of eco-friendly materials. It is important to note that both the selection of plant-based compounds and the conditions used during synthesis can significantly impact the biocompatibility and efficacy of the resulting nanomaterials. Plant-based compounds not only play a crucial role in reducing metal ions into nanoparticles, but also can increase their biocompatibility.
The combination of green-synthesized nanoparticles and plant-based compounds can lead to synergistic effects, in which the nanoparticles and bioactive compounds work together to achieve enhanced results. For example, nanoparticles can be carriers for plant-based compounds, facilitating their controlled release. Moreover, using plant-based compounds for capping and stabilizing nanoparticles can considerably reduce the toxicity and immunogenicity associated with traditional synthetic chemicals, increasing their suitability for use in medical devices and therapies. Therefore, comprehensive research and testing are necessary to optimize the possible combinations of green-synthesized nanoparticles and plant-based compounds for specific applications.
It is crucial to continue to carry out research on the green synthesis of nanomaterials to promote the adoption of green nanomaterials across various industries to combat environmental pollution.
