Abstract :
—Synthesis of Nanomaterials from biological
source is a relatively new bloom in nanotechnology which
is cheaper and has benefits over chemical and physical
process of synthesis. The present work focussed on the
synthesis of silver nano particles (Ag-NPs) from the marine
seaweed Sargasumplagiophylum extract. Characterizations
studies were analysed by UV-Visible Spectrometry,
Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy-dispersive X-ray
spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction and Fourier-Transform
Infra-red Spectroscopy. The synthesis of Ag-NPs was
confirmed through the presence of an intense absorption
peak at 440nm by UV-Visible Spectrometer. The
morphology was studied with SEM image. The elements
concentration was identified using EDX. The structure of
the nanoparticles were revealed using XRD results. The
presence of functional groups was identified using FT-IR.
The synthesized nanoparticles can be useful in various
applications in medicine.
