ABSTRACT
In recent years, nano biotechnological area for the study of
nanoparticles synthesized using some natural biological material, has
led to the growth of advanced nanomaterials. This intention made us to
access the biological way for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using
1 m M Silver nitrate. The leaf and root extracts of the plant
Phyllanthus reticulatus were incubated as a mixture in Silver nitrate to
facilitate the formation of silver particles. As a result, a colour change
from pale yellow to reddish brown has been observed. The formed
particles were characterized by UV-Visible Spectroscopy, FTIR and
their morphology was determined by Transmission Electron
Microscope (TEM).The antibacterial activity of the formed particles is
also being discussed in this article.
Keywords: Phyllanthus reticulatus, Silver nanoparticles, FTIR, TEM, Antibacterial Activity.
