A review on application of green nanoparticles from neem and eucalyptus

Abstract

Abstract Nanotechnology is concerned with the creation and use of nanoscale materials. The synthetic methods for nanoparticles are associated with environmental hazards. This review begins with the need for synthesizing nanoparticles biogenically. Hence, it describes the green synthesis of different metal nanoparticles using the plant extracts of neem (Azadirachta indica), and eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) as reductant and stabilizers. Importantly, this review summarizes the medical applications of green nanoparticles, made using plants with medicinal values. The environmental uses of the same nanoparticles are also explored. There is immense literature where nanoparticle-based applications in medicine and environment concentrates more on chemical or physical methods, we hope this review would help reader to focus more on environment friendly synthesis of nanoparticles and their important roles.
