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. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
