Today, Nanocomposites are synthesized
due to their wide applicability in various areas such as cosmetics,
food industry, medicine, shampoos, soaps, and detergent. Noble
metals such as gold, silver, and platinum nanoparticles (NPs) are
traditionally synthesized by wet chemical techniques where the
chemicals used are generally toxic and flammable. Now,
nanotechnology uses plant extract directly to synthesize Nano
composites which are cost-effective and environment friendly. Silver
NPs (AgNPs) are easily synthesized by using simply mixing AgNO3
solution with the extract of the plant (leaves, stem, roots, and
fruits) which act as reducing as well as capping agent. AgNPs which
have been synthesized from different parts of plant extracts showed
very good antimicrobial, anti-cancerous and antidiabetic activities.
