P. S. Bedi* and Arshdeep Kaur

ABSTRACT

Nanotechnology is a very fresh field of research in 21st century. Due to distinctive properties Nanoparticles (NPs) are used in different fields. Out of all other Metal nanoparticles zinc oxide nanoparticles are most important, as these are used in biomedical, gas sensors, drug-delivery systems, biosensors, cosmetics and agriculture etc. Current research shows that the nanoparticles are used in waste water management, textile and medicine also. In this review paper an attempt has been made to elaborate the uses of Zinc oxide nanoparticles

Keywords: Nanoparticles, ZnO, Cancer, Anti microbial activity.
