چکیده مقاله :
Nanoparticles bio production, considering their performance in medicine and biologicalscience, is increasing; also, raising awareness of green chemistry and bioprocesses hasencouraged the use of environmentally friendly methods for the production of non-toxicnanomaterials.. Also uses of plant extracts are found to be more advantageous over chemical,physical and microbial (bacterial, fungal, algal) methods for silver nanoparticles (AgNPs)synthesis. The objectives of this study were the production of silver nanoparticles using aqueous andhydroalcoholic extracts of Avena sativa L. an investigation of the effect of extracts on thesynthesis of nanoparticles. The morphology and size of the nanoparticles were determinedusing Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and UV-Vis spectroscopy. SEM images showed thatthe synthesized nanoparticles were mainly spherical and round shaped. The results indicatedthat synthesized nanoparticles using an aqueous extract were better than the synthesizednanoparticles using hydro-alcoholic extract in shape and size.Synthesize silver nanoparticles using Avena sativa L. Extract provides environmentally friendlyoption as compared to currently available chemical/ physical methods.
