Exploring the Biological Applications of TiO2 and AgNPs: Innovations and Impacts

Abstract

The foundation for crucial industrial applications and rapid expansion is now nanotechnology. The nanoparticles are synthesized by various methods that are classified into bottom-up or top-down method Ag NPs show antimicrobial effect and are possibly useful in the areas of food preservation, antibacterial surfaces and tissues, nanomedicine, and dentistry, TiO2 NPs are one of the most widely generated metal oxide NPs, which is typically because of its adaptable and acceptable qualities that come from the optical, electrical, chemical properties, and physical. Its various kinds of minerals include anatase, rutile, and brookite; generally, the former has more TiO2 due to increased photocatalytic activity. Despite TiO2 NPs' relevance, very little work has been done to generate them sustainably. Nanoparticles have many applications likes engineering of tissue antimicrobial applications, and regenerative medicine, carrier for drug delivery, cancer Treatment, the major aim of the essay to provide overview about silver and titanium nanoparticles their application in medicine especially how the penetration occur
