GREEN APPROACH FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF ZINC NANOPARTICLES AND ITS ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
Green nanotechnology is an eco-friendly approach for the synthesis of metal nanoparticles and a promising alternative for chemical methods. In this study, we have synthesized zinc nanoparticles by utilizing the leaf extract of the plant Cestrum nocturnum as a reducing agent. The generated nanoparticles were characterized using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). TEM analysis revealed spherical nanoparticles with an average size range of 10-30 nm. Bactericidal activity was tested against the bacteria E. coli.
