nanoparticle synthesis

Nanoparticle synthesis refers to the process of creating tiny particles, typically between 1 to 100 nanometers in size. These nanoparticles can have unique properties due to their small size and large surface area. There are various methods for synthesizing them, including chemical, physical, and biological techniques. In chemical synthesis, reactants combine in specific conditions to form nanoparticles. Physical methods may involve breaking down larger materials, while biological methods use natural processes, like plants or microbes. The resulting nanoparticles are used in fields such as medicine, electronics, and environmental science for their enhanced properties.
