A solvent casting technique was used for the preparation of biomimetic nanocomposites scaffolds at three various concentrations of Curcumin loaded gold nanoparticles (Cur-AuNPs-1, 1.5, and 2 ml) as filler materials with chitosan-sodium alginate composite. The physico-chemical properties of prepared Cu-Au NPs and biomimetic nanocomposites were analyzed using various characterization techniques.

The herbal nanoparticles were prepared from shade dried plant leaves employing ball milling technique using different process parameters, like ball ratio/size and milling time. The obtained nanoparticles were comprehensively characterised using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy and antimicrobial analysis techniques. The crystallinity of the nanoparticles was retained without altering even though the particle size changes due to milling periods.
