Improvement of green route for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles with plant extracts plays a very important role in nanotechnology without any harmful chemicals. The present investigation demonstrates the synthesis of silver nanoparticles by treating silver nitrate with Graviola leaf extract at room temperature.The effect of the extract on the formation of silver nanoparticles was characterized by UV-Vis spectrum, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analysis. The UV-Vis spectra results show a strong resonance centered on the surface of silvernanoparticles (AgNPs) at 400-450 nm. The Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy spectral study demonstrates Graviola leaf aqueous extract acted as the reducing and stabilizing agent during the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. XRD and SEM studies revealed that the synthesized silver nanoparticles shows spherical in shape with average particles size around 30-70 nm.

<p>The major objective of this research paper is to synthesis sulfur nanoparticles (SNPs) by green route, which can improve plant’s growth and reduce the environmental pathogens. Sulfur nanoparticles (SNPs) were synthesized by a simple green procedure using <em>Melia azedarach</em> leaves aqueous extract and citric acid. The leaves of <em>Melia azedarach</em> aqueous extract act as a capping and stabilizing agent in the formation of sulfur nanoparticles. The synthesized sulfur nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The average particles diameter size was found to be 20 ± 4 nm. Analysis showed that the nanoparticles are crystalline in nature, with spherical shape. A preliminary field study was conducted to evaluate growth and development of <em>Cucurbita pepo</em> in response to sulfur nanoparticles.</p>

Objective: The proposed study is carried out to synthesize and characterize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using rhizomes of Asparagus racemosus and to evaluate its antimicrobial activity in vitro. Methods: Aqueous extract of A. racemosus rhizomes was prepared and subjected to preliminary phytochemical screening. AgNPs of A. racemosus rhizomes were prepared using standard procedure. The synthesized particles were characterized using ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analysis. Further, these nanoparticles were subjected to in vitro antimicrobial studies. Results: Preliminary phytochemical analysis showed the presence of tannins, phlobatannins, saponins, flavonoids, terpenoids, triterpenoids, alkaloids, carbohydrates, proteins, anthraquinones, polyphenols, and glycosides. The study of synthesized AgNPs showed a sharp absorbance at 410 nm. The results of FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of phenol, alkanes, aliphatic amine, secondary alcohol, alkenes, and aromatic amines. SEM analysis of the AgNPs revealed higher density polydispersed AgNPs of various sizes. The AgNPs synthesized from rhizome extract showed higher toxicity toward tested microorganisms when compared to extract alone. Conclusion: It has been concluded that silver nanoparticles of A. racemosus could be a good source of plant-derived antimicrobials.

IntroductionIn the present study, we decided to prepare and formulate a new chemotherapeutic drug (silver nanoparticles in ‎aqueous medium using Salvia officinalis leaf aqueous extract) for the treatment of human ovarian cancer in the in ‎vitro condition.Material and methodsThe organometallic chemistry tests such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), UV–Visible Spectroscopy ‎‎(UV-Vis), and Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FT‐IR) were used for characterizing of silver ‎nanoparticles. For investigating the antioxidant potentials of AgNO3, Salvia officinalis aqueous extract, and ‎silver nanoparticles, the DPPH test was used in the presence of butylated hydroxytoluene as the positive ‎control. To survey the cytotoxicity and anti-human ovarian cancer activities of AgNO3, Salvia officinalis ‎aqueous extract, and silver nanoparticles, MTT assay was used on the human ovarian cancer cell lines i.e., Caov-‎‎3‎, SK-OV-3, and PA-1‎. ‎ResultsIn UV-Vis, the clear peak in the wavelength of 421 nm indicated the formation of silver nanoparticles. In FT-IR ‎test, the presence of many antioxidant compounds with related bonds caused the excellent condition for ‎reducing of silver in the silver nanoparticles. The silver nanoparticles inhibited half of the DPPH molecules in ‎the concentration of 251 µg/mL. The best result of anti-human ovarian cancer effects of silver nanoparticles ‎against the above cell lines was observed in the case of the SK-OV-3 cell line. ‎ConclusionsSilver nanoparticles had very low cell viability and anti-human ovarian cancer properties dose-dependently ‎against Caov-3‎, SK-OV-3, and PA-1 cell lines without any cytotoxicity on the normal cell line (HUVECs). ‎

Green route for the synthesis of nanoparticles has become more acceptable than the other chemical as well as biological route. In the present study, silver nanoparticle is synthesized using ethanolic extract of Psidium guajava leaves. Further the synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Visible Spec, FT-IR, X-Ray Diffraction FESEM and E-DAX. The results of FT-IR provided evidence of the involvement of phytochemicals present in the leaf extract in the reduction of silver nitrate to silver nanoparticles. XRD confirmed the crystalline structure as well as shape of the synthesized nanoparticle as face-centred cubic. E-DAX profiling helped in determining the presence of elemental silver. The size of the nanoparticle procured by SEM analysis was found to be approximately 30-50 nm in size. Thus, the findings of this study showed that the plant assisted method for silver nanoparticle synthesis is more effective and further application level studies can shed lights on their use in healing of various human ailments.

The present investigation demonstrates the formation of silver nanoparticles by the reduction of the aqueous silver metal ions during exposure to the Lagenaria siceraria leaf extract. The synthesized AgNPs have characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) techniques. AgNPs formation has screened by UV-visible spectroscopy through colour conversion due to surface plasma resonance band at 427 nm. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed that the resulting AgNPs are highly crystalline and the structure is face centered cubic (fcc). FT-IR spectrum indicates the presence of different functional groups present in the biomolecules capping the nanoparticles. Further, inhibitory activity of AgNPs and leaf extract were tested against human pathogens like gram-pastive (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis), gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). The results indicated that the AgNPs showed moderate inhibitory actions against human pathogens than Lagenaria siceraria leaf extract, demonstrating its antimicrobial value against pathogenic diseases

The wet surface modification process were used in this work to get the well lipophilic molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) powders and the modified MoS2 were filled into the polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and polypropylene (PP) powders with different proportions to make polymeric based composites through hot-press molding equipment. The Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR) analysis showed that the modification agents of stearic acid (SA), orγ-Methacryloxypropyl trimethoxy silane(KH570 or A-174), could react with the adsorption hydroxyl(−OH) of the MoS2 powders and finally form chemical coatings, the SA could form a layer of physics wrap too. The powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis reveled that the SA or KH570 could not change the laminated structure of MoS2. The wearability testing showed that the composites filled by modified MoS2 owned the better wearable performances than the filled not one. From minimum to maximum, the wear mass rates of SA/MoS2/PP/PPS, KH570/MoS2/PP/PPS, PP/PPS were 0.7216, 5.4187 and 7.3198 percent in turns. Scanning electronic microscope (SEM) analysis showed the surface modification could uniformize the modified MoS2 to disperse in the polymeric based composites, and also reflect the abrasion mechanism which the particles and the adhering wear modes could all make the mass loss of the testing samples and they coexisted and could transform each other, the former would produce higher loss rates than the later and their leader status would gradually change from the particles wear to the adhering wear during the course of wearing-resisting tests.
