The trend to miniaturization and necessity of improvement of technological processes during last 20 years have resulted in a fast increase of the researches devoted to study, functionalization and applications of metal nanoparticles. Their synthesis is one of the most promissing directions in modern nanotechnology that develops most dynamically. The silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) deserve a special interest because of their unique physicochemical properties, including optical, magnetic and electronic characteristics, catalytic activity and biological impact; all these features serve to increase the AgNPs applications in medicine, agriculture, environment, and industry. The AgNPs have a high potential as commercial nanomaterials and an effective antimicrobial agent.
