description | The development of nanotechnology has allowed us to better exploit the potential of many natural compounds. However, the classic nanotechnology approach often uses both dangerous and environmentally harmful chemical compounds and drastic conditions for synthesis. Nevertheless, “green chemistry” techniques are revolutionizing the possibility of making technology, also for tissue engineering, environmentally friendly and cost-effective. Among the many approaches proposed and among several natural compounds proposed, honey seems to be a very promising way to realize this new “green” approach. |
