Nanomaterials and Plant Potential

Abstract

In view of the importance of nanosized systems in various aspects of human life, nanostructures and nanoproducts are strongly attracting the attention of researchers, planners, and investors all over the world. Specific properties of nanomaterials depend primarily on their size, structure, and shape, which are affected by several factors such as agglomeration, pH, temperature, solubility, phase transition, and surface plasmon resonance. This chapter highlights some basic chemical/biochemical characteristics of nanomaterials, which are responsible for their unique properties, and also points to the significance of these materials in areas of health and medicine with especial reference to the mode and mechanism of nanoencapsulation.
