Abstract

HERNANDEZ-DIAZ, Maleni N. et al. The role of wild and crop plants from Mexico in the nanoparticles’ synthesis. Mundo nano [online]. 2024, vol.17, n.32, e00089.  Epub Apr 01, 2024. ISSN 2448-5691.  https://doi.org/10.22201/ceiich.24485691e.2024.32.69743.

The successful use of nanoparticles (NPs) in various sectors has increased interest and demand to synthesize, explore and study them. The synthesis of NP (as well as its derivatives, reductions, functionalizations, or conjugations), its properties and applications have been analyzed from modern approaches, through various advanced techniques, for multiple applications. The objective of this paper is to highlight the importance of plants as a source of metabolites and extracts, used as origin and means of NP synthesis. Likewise, green synthesis is highlighted as an environmentally friendly method to take advantage of the wide range of possibilities represented by the natural reservoir of Mexican plants and its various applications and properties to be explored in the field of nanobiotechnology.

Keywords : bionanotechnology; environmental health; nanomaterial; green chemistry; toxic waste.
