SYNTHESIS OF SEAWEED NANOPARTICLES: POTENTIAL AND APPLICATION

Abstract

Synthesis of seaweed nanoparticles has been an interest because of its very large potential and can be applied in various fields. Biosynthesis of nanoparticles using seaweed is considered as a green technology because it does not involve hazardous chemicals. Manufacture of nanoparticles made from seaweed as a substitute chemicals indirectly help to reduce the environmental damage caused by organic chemicals. Directly seaweed also had a role in protecting the environment from carbon pollution through C 2 reduction process. C 2 absorption capability through the process of photosynthesis to make seaweed a double role as an economic resource for the community and the global environment as a controller. This review will provide a description of the potential and application for seaweed nanoparticles synthesis, which is the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticle, cellulose nanoparticle as synthetic fiber replacement and seaweed nanoparticle as an antioxidant. In the future, seaweed nanoparticles need to be further developed so that it can be useful in various fields.
