Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

The ongoing research in nanotechnology has developed a number of different synthesis techniques of nanoparticles from a diverse range of materials such as metals, biological, metal oxides, ceramics, polymers, etc. Nanoparticles have a range of morphological, physical, chemical properties depending upon their synthesis and precursors that are important for their wide variety of applications such as biosensors, drug delivery, gene delivery, diagnostics and theragnostics. This study is intended to give a broader view of various synthesis methods available nowadays in the field of medicinal applications of nanoparticles. It also contains the advantages and shortfalls of the synthesis methods.
