Abstract :
Over the last decade, a number of plant extracts have been studied for synthesis of silver nanoparticles due
to simple, effective and eco-friendly nature. In the present work, one step bio-synthesis of silver nanoparticles using
Mytragyna parvifolia leaf extract was studied and optimum conditions for the formation of stable silver nanoparticles
were established. Aqueous leaf extracts were prepared using microwave assisted extraction method and used for
synthesis of silver nanoparticles. Bio-reduction of Ag+
ions to silver nanoparticles by aqueous leaf extracts was
monitored by UV-visible spectrophotometer.
