A nanoparticle is a microscopic particle one dimension measuring less than 100 nm on the nanometer scale, due to a wide variety of possible applications in biomedical, optical, and electronic fields researchers have shown special interest in it. They are one of the important discoveries in recent times as they successfully bridge the gap between bulk materials and atomic or molecular structures.

Silver Nanoparticles are nanoparticles of silver; they are basically very small silver particles of measuring between 1 nm and 100 nm in size on the nanoscale. While they are commonly referred to as 'silver', sometimes they contain of a large percentage of silver oxide depending on their large ratio of surface-to-bulk silver atoms.

Silver Nanoparticles have several applications in other industries also

Their unique visual, electrical, and thermal properties has made them increasingly viable in the applications of various industries such as chemical sensors, photovoltaics and biological sensors.

In the biomedical industry they are widely incorporated into wound dressings, and are also used as an antiseptic and disinfectant in medical applications and in consumer goods.

They are also incorporated in the manufacturing of plastics, composites, and an adhesive increases the electrical conductivity of the material. They are used to make inks which are then further used to print flexible electronics.

They are known to have unique optical properties because they carry exterior plasmons. They are used widely in the making of biomedical labels, sensors, and detectors.

They are also known for their large scattering and absorption properties which make them essential in the production of plasmonic solar applications. They act as proficient optical transmitters they can be used to obtain when they are incorporated into collectors.
