Nanoparticles: synthesis and applications

This cluster of papers focuses on nanotoxicology, particularly the study of the toxic effects of nanoparticles, with a specific emphasis on antimicrobial nanoparticles such as silver. It covers topics such as the biological synthesis of nanoparticles, environmental impact, cytotoxicity, and green synthesis methods.

100,032 works

Papers listed on taxonomy pages are the top few works per node from the OpenAlex snapshot. That list is not exhaustive and is not an endorsement. The topic map and the journal registry remain separate: there is still no authoritative topic-to-venue or topic-to-organization edge. Search is a lexical lookup, not a claim that a venue publishes a topic.
