Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticle Using LeucasAspera Plant Extract and Its Antimicrobial Activity on Lyocell Fabric
Abstract
Nanotechnology is a emerging field in the textile sector. Nanoparticles has a completely new properties like size, shape and morphology. Nanoparticle production makes use of lots of chemicals and toxic solvents which limit their use in various applications.So therefore green non toxic method is very essential for synthesizing nanoparticles for wider applications. This can be achieved by using ecofriendly methods. Plant is a very good option for nanoparticles synthesis which has various advantages when compared to other methods. Nanotechnology is one of the method which provides ecofriendly products as. Plant is the best option among all other biological methods which is easy to synthesis and very safe when compare to physical and chemical methods .Silver is a very good antimicrobial agent, which has good resistance againt various micro-organism .Now silver is very commonly used in various medical applications. In this article study was conducted by using four different medicinal plants with antimicrobial activity and green synthesis of nanoparticle was made with the plant which has very good antimicrobial activity. Lyocell is natural cellulose fiber made from dissolving pulp. Lyocell has a very good properties like moisture absorption, biocompatible , ecofriendly. In this study biologically synthesized silver nanosynthesis was made using leucasaspera plant extract and nanofinish was incorporated in lyocell fabric.
