Green Nanotechnology: Path for Clean and Safer Molecular Manufacturing

Ashu Gupta, Sweta Mehra

Abstract


Green Chemistry and Nanotechnology are intended to increase products and energy efficiencies of the chemical reactions and to reduce toxic effects on human health and environment. The study of Green Nanotechnology emphasize how principles of Green Chemistry can affect the influence and
implementation of nanotechnology. The opportunities of research on green synthesis of nanomaterials for different applications from solar energy storage panels to generation of green fuels and from making of Nanomedicine to Nano-sensing technology is increasing all over the world. The quality of nanomaterials produced from greener synthesis is similar to the chemical one and they can be easily manipulated by changing its physical and chemical properties- Temperature, pH, etc. The challenge that green nanotechnology conquered with is to reduce toxicity as well as to set a new basis for
manufacturing of various nanomaterials.
