PLANTS-MEDIATED NANOMATERIALS

Plant extracts as unique biofactories of valuable nanomaterials

WHAT IS THIS ?

Plant extracts have been used all over history for their healing and sanatory properties, with different plants and herbs leading to a wide range of curative properties.

 

Therefore, when used to produce nanomaterials, a synergetic effect is achieved, leading to therapeutic agents that show properties of both raw materials. 

​

Due to the wide array of precursors, plants-mediated nanomaterials are a unique field on its own, leading to the production of powerful antimicrobial and anticancer agents with outstanding potential in the biomedical field. 

 

WHY DO WE CARE ?

Nanomaterials produced by plant extracts have a unique chemical identity derived from the extract used for the synthesis.

​

Due to their special physicochemical properties, they can be used as antimicrobial, anticancer, healing and antioxidant agents

 

Furthermore, the use of plant extracts allows for an easy scale-up of the processes and a quick and straightforward production of materials due to the cost-effectivity of the approach.
