Abstract

Since the development of nanotechnology in recent decades, there has been a notable increase in research on the synthesis and design of organic and bioorganic nanomaterials. These materials have many uses in sectors that impact our way of life and society, such as photonics, electronics, and biology. The discovery of new functions and the development of features are essential aims that cannot be achieved without a better grasp of the preparation processes that serve as the base for the construction of certain organic substances. In this context, this overview offers a fundamental summary of the methods employed for the production of nanoparticles, encompassing both organic and bioorganic techniques. The most often used techniques for organic nanomaterials can be categorized into two families: one-step and two-step processes. In this article, we will discuss some generic concepts of organic nanomaterials and provide descriptions of organic materials.
