TRANSCRIPT

NP are considered substances that are less than 100 nm in size in more than one nm. They can be spherical, tubular, or irregularly shaped and can exist in fused, aggregated or agglomerated forms.

Natural 1. C-containing fulvic acids2. Inorganic Ag, Au Anthropogenic( Anthropogenic

engineered)1. C-containing Polyethyleneglycol (PEG)

NP2. Inorganic Platinum group metals

efficacy of nanoparticles for any application dependson the physicochemical characteristics of both their core material and surface modifiers.

Nanomaterials are excellent adsorbents, catalysts, and sensors due to their large specific surface area and high reactivity.

Antioxidant Bactericides Enzymes immobilization: free lipases

are easily inactivated and difficult to recover for reuse. Therefore, especially in large-scale applications, lipases are often immobilized on solid supports in order to facilitate recovery and improve operational stability under a wide variety of reaction conditions

 

anti-glycation activity of gold nanoparticles in addition to their biocompatibility has made them preferable for ophthalmological implications
