Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles from Leaf Extract of Diospyros Peregrina and Antimicrobial Characterization for Dental Applications
摘要
Metallic nanoparticles are the class of emerging materials for applications in biomedical fields. Among these nanoparticles, recently silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been noticed as high attention of researchers. In this research work, AgNPs have been synthesized from leaves extract of Diospyros peregrina using green synthesis and cost effective methods. Development of AgNPs was verified by change of color of solution after 24 h of the mixture formation and Ultraviolet–visible (UV) spectroscopy. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to characterize the synthesized AgNPs. Performances of AgNPs were carried out by antimicrobial experiments against gram positive bacteria S. aureus and gram negative bacteria E. coli. AgNPs showed 99.2% antibacterial performance against the S. aureus bacteria while it showed 91% resistance against E. coli. Antimicrobial performance suggests that synthesized AgNPs can be used for dental implant applications.
