growth in material science and improvisation in method of metallic nanoparticle
synthesis continue, and expect more research on new materials (metal combination) for biomedical applications. All the methods described in this chapter have
their own advantages and limitations, hence more research is needed to synthesize
metallic nanoparticles for specific biomedical application.
