An Overview of Recent Advances in Application of Some Inorganic Materials-Biological and Technological Perspectives

Abstract

Inorganic compounds which include metals, minerals, and organometallic compounds are used as catalysts, pigments, coatings, surfactants, medicines, fuels and more. They often have high melting points and specific high or low electrical conductivity properties, which make them useful for specific purposes. The scope of the review focusses on the application of a few inorganic materials with special emphasis on their biological and biomaterials perspectives.
