摘要: The size dependent behaviour of any particle relates to some its unique properties. This gave rise rapidly growing field Nanosciences. Nanotechnology has attracted considerable interest both scientific and industrial community in the past few years. inter-relates various research areas applied sciences like physics, chemistry, biology, electronics material sciences. It is often described as an emerging technology which truly capable revolutionizing our approaches common problems. involves design, characterization, production application structures/particles by controlling their shape at nanoscale. An important challenge nanotechnology engineer particles with desired optical electronic properties shape. can be achieved chemical processes also biological agents. Utilization microorganisms for intracellular/extracellular synthesis nanoparticles different composition, size, shapes controlled monodispersity (of similar shape) a novel biological, economically viable eco-friendly means biosynthesis nanoparticles. holds promise improving aspects life ranging from medicine materials. Also, much more offer environmental protection, reduction clean-up pollution, energy conservation. chapter attempt introduce readers nanoworld use bioremediation toxic pollutants environment. discussion raises questions what will fate nanomaterials released environment consequent impact on ecosystem.
