Study of Synthesis ,Characterisation and Antibacterial activity of Silver nanoparticles derived from roots of Phyllanthus emblica.

In this study, synthesis of silver nanoparticles(AgNP’s) is discussed using aqueous extract of roots of Phyllanthus emblica. Synthesised AgNP’s showed maximum wavelength at 267 nm after 30 minutes of synthesis. Fourier Tranform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy results are obtained giving functional groups responsible in formation of metal nanoparticles. Field Emission Gun -Scanning Electron Microscopy (FEG-SEM) showed particle size in the range of 30.0 nm, 37.5 nm and 35.6 nm for AgNP’s .Whereas, Energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (EDS) technique also determined composition of metal nanoparticles formed. Futher , antibacterial activity is highlighted using synthesised AgNP .
