Review on the Medicinal Applications of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles

Abstract

 The production and application of materials at the nanoscale are the focus of nanotechnology. In general, nanoparticles exhibit distinct properties and a large surface area per unit volume. Due to the abundance of zinc and the relatively easy conversion of its oxide to nanostructures, zinc oxide (ZnO) - based nanomaterials have been known to have a wide range of applications for several essential demands since the inception of nanoscience. The food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries can all greatly benefit from the use of nanoparticles, making this a significant area of research in the Green production of nanoparticles of zinc oxide (ZnO NPs). Future materials for biomedical uses may be ZnO nanoparticles.
