A Comparative Study of Plant Mediated Synthesis of Silver, Copper and Zinc Nanoparticles from Tiliacora acuminata (lam.) Hook. F. and Their Antibacterial Activity Studies
Abstract: Green synthesis of nanoparticles is becoming more and more popular due to its compensation over physical or chemical methods. This research was carried out to the synthesis of nanoparticles employing three different metals (silver nitrate, copper and zinc sulphate) using Tiliacora acuminata (family: Menispermaceae) fruit powder. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized through the UV-Vis Spectrophotometer, FT-IR and X-Ray Diffraction studies. The antibacterial activity of nanoparticles was studied against disease causing …
