A Review On The Diverse Application Of Silver Nanoparticle

-Nanotechnology is an emerging field with diverse applications in pharmacy, medicine, industries and environments. Among nanosized particles, the inorganic nanoparticles posses unique physical and chemical properties. These nanoparticles and their composites are useful for the wide range of applications. This review aims to provide a consolidated assessment of silver nanoparticle and silver nanocomposites in various fields. Among nanoparticles, silver nanoparticle exhibits antimicrobial activities and prominent in diverse applications. The nanosilver composites by coating of chemical material, agricultural residues, other matrices etc., have been used for the development of new materials that could be conveniently used in house cleaning solutions, fabric cleaners, wound bandages, paints, ornamental glasses, electronics circuits, fridge, washing machines and cosmetics, etc., Similarly, silver nanoparticle can also be functionalized with various groups of commercial adsorbents and agricultural residues to increase their affinity towards target compounds and used as a selective sorbents for metal ions and anions.
