ABSTRACT

Nanotechnology can built nanoparticles that have the ability to manage the individual atoms and molecules. Pharmaceutical nanotechnology is a most important application in nanotechnology that plays a great role in nanoparticles. Among all nanoparticles synthesis, the silver nanoparticles have the specific place in the area of nanotechnology. The present study was aimed on synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Elaeagnus conferta Roxb leaf and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy analysis. Anti bacterial activity on synthesized silver nanoparticles were done. The Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy instrument utterly revealed the presence of plant functional groups. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized in 1mM, 3mM and 5mM of concentrations in Elaeagnus conferta Roxb leaf extract. The double beam ultra visible spectroscopy result provides the best wavelength in 5mM concentration on 422nm. Further studies are done in 5mM concentration. Antibacterial activity had applied in synthesized silver nanoparticles.
