| Sumario: | The first thing that comes to mind when we hear about nanoparticles is their small size or their wide range of applications, but we rarely focus on their synthesis, which is the most important part because that is where their sizes and properties are determined. To synthesize them, there are many procedures, ranging from those that require the use of dangerous reagents or long times to those that are environmentally friendly. Green chemistry is one of those eco-friendly methods that is gaining relevance for its ease, speed, and sustainability. This approach uses natural resources and bioactive compounds that act as reducing, stabilizing, and coating agents, making the process more efficient in practically a single step. Among the various properties that nanoparticles have been proven to have is their antibacterial capacity, demonstrating that, when interacting with bacteria, they trigger a series of processes that culminate in the elimination of the microorganism. This article provides an overview of green chemistry and how it is used to synthesize nanoparticles, delving into the different resources available for this procedure, the factors that influence the synthesis, and the antibacterial properties attributed to these nanomaterials. |
