Abstract
Nanotechnology has revolutionized the consumer market globally due to its inimitable and far-fetched characteristic properties. Every synthesis technique has its pros and cons and therefore, according to the need, nanoparticles (NPs) are synthesized by various widely standardized techniques. After the synthesis of nanoparticles, evaluation of their physico-chemical properties is extremely important for determining their behaviour, bio-distribution, safety and efficacy. In particular, impact of nanoparticles on a biological system is one of the major concerns that has not been addressed adequately till date and it solely depends on their size, stability, surface property, etc.
Metal nanoparticles are reported to have significant potential for numerous applications in the area of biomedical application, energy and information technology, optoelectronic and magnetic imaging that primarily depends on their size, shape and composition. This chapter deals with the major adopted techniques for the synthesis of nanoparticles and their physico-chemical characterization which is the foundation for achieving optimum benefits of nanoparticles in consumer goods and biomedical application.
