Abstract

The green synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) has become a matter of great interest. There is a growing need to develop green and eco-friendly approaches which do not use toxic and hazardous chemical materials in the synthesis protocols. There are numerous scientific reports in the field of nanoparticle biosynthesis using organisms. Magnetic NPs have different applications in radionuclide therapy, drug delivery, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diagnostics, immunoassays, molecular biology, DNA and RNA purification, cell separation and purification, cell adhesion research, hyperthermia, and wastewater treatment. This chapter provides an overview of green bio-based synthesis of magnetic NPs as well as their applications in environmental, biomedical, and clinical fields. © 2019, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
