ABSTRACT

Over recent years, there's been an extraordinary surge of interest in studying tiny particles called nanomaterials, particularly nanoparticles, largely because these materials exhibit unique characteristics not found in larger objects. Remarkable characteristics have given rise to numerous groundbreaking uses across various sectors such as healthcare, pharmaceuticals, technology devices, farming techniques, industrial chemistry processes, and more. Recently, scientists have developed new ways to create tiny particles called 'nanoparticles' using living plants or microscopic organisms in nature instead of traditional manufacturing techniques which require costly resources and can be harmful to the environment. Incorporating interdisciplinary methods for synthesizing nanoparticles necessitates comprehension by both biologists and bioengineers in utilizing intricate techniques required for accurately characterizing such procedures. The critique catersspecifically to individuals interested in biology topics and outlines the physical and chemical characteristics of nanomaterials along with techniques employed for measuring them. Nanomaterials stand out because they differ fundamentally from both micrometers-sized particles and larger-scale substances like bulk matter. Our goal is to offer an extensive analysis of various nanoparticle types along with their unique physical and chemical characteristics such as strength, heat resistance, magnetism, conductivity, light emission capabilities, and catalysis abilities. An extensive compilation detailing various methodologies employed for identifying and evaluating such characteristics is provided alongside an exhaustive catalog featuring numerous instances of bioengineered nanomaterials already created and analyzed, encompassing applications across fields like healthcare, technology, farming, and food processing. Our aim is to make various approaches available to all users so they can better understand how to solve specific issues in nanoscale research effectively.

Keywords: Nanostructures composed of metallic particles, biological origin- derived nano-particles, bio-nano technology, analysis techniques for these materials.
