Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles from aqueous extract of and coating on the cotton fabric for antimicrobial applications and wound healing activity in fibroblast cells (L929).

is a perennial herb which was vastly prescribed in Chinese medicine to treat inflammations, infections and it is also used a detoxifying agent. We synthesized silver nanoparticles with extract and characterized the nanoparticles with UV-Vis spectroscopic analysis, TEM, AFM, FTIR and XRD. The biofilm inhibiting property of synthesized silver nanoparticles were examined with XTT reduction assay and the antimicrobial property was examined with well diffusion method.
