Green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles using leaf extract of selected silkworm host plants and their applications

Abstract

Nanoparticles are solid particles with 1 100 nm size in any dimension Among physical and chemicals methods of nanoparticle synthesis green synthesis has several advantages It is a simple inexpensive and environment friendly method In this thesis we have synthesized metallic nanoparticles using leaf extract of silkworm host plants and also studied their applications Silver nanoparticles were synthesized using Ricinus communis var carmencita leaf extract The synthesized silver nanoparticl
