Se NPs were synthesized using ascorbic acid (AA) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as reducing and capping agents, respectively. This was carried out by optimizing the physiochemical preparation parameters (e.

Therefore, further research is warranted to identify new and effective antimicrobial substances. Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) were synthesized by autoclaving technique using, different concentrations of Ag salt (AgNO) solution (1, 5, 10, and 25 mM).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFNanoparticles are being increasingly used in day-to-day life. Therefore, concerns have been raised regarding their interactions with the surrounding environment. This study focused on a simple green method for synthesizing silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) in an autoclave at 15 psi (103 kPa) and 121°C.
