ABSTRACT

Metallic nanoparticles are traditionally synthesized by wet chemical synthesis techniques where the chemicals used are quite often toxic and flammable. The present study deals with cost effective and environment friendly given synthesis from 1mM AgNo3 solution through the leaf extract of M.emarginata, as reducing as well as capping agent. Nanoparticles were characterized using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-Ray diffraction (XRD) were performed. Green synthesized silver nanoparticles showed the antibacterial activity against the diabetic wound infection causing microorganisms.

Keywords: Nanoparticles, spectrophotometry, diabetic, microorganisms, M.emarginata.
