This document discusses nanotechnology and electron beam technology for producing nanoparticles. It summarizes that electron beam technology can be used to evaporate materials to produce nanoparticles through vacuum evaporation. This technique is versatile, efficient and cost-effective for producing metallic and non-metallic nanoparticles. The document also discusses how nanoparticles of silver, silica and nanocomposites have been produced and studied for their antimicrobial properties and ability to decrease toxicity of drugs like antituberculosis medications.
