Abstract:
Progress in the field of nanosciences opened new potential applications in different sectors of activity. Nanotechnology has significant contribution in many areas of life, especially in the medical field. Nanomedicine, an application of nanotechnology in the field of health, uses nanomaterials and nanosensors to diagnose cancer or repair the damaged tissues.
On the other hand, the use of metallic nanoparticles (such as AgNPs and CuNPs) as biopesticides, can be an alternative to classical pesticides. A "green" approach to nanotechnology can be achieved through biohybrid materials that include metallic nanoparticles, biomolecules, biomimetic membranes and various forms of silicon dioxide, with antioxidant, antimicrobial and antitumor properties.
