Biogenic Synthesis of Nanoparticles from the Edible Plant Polygonum microcephalum for Use in Antimicrobial Fabric.

ABSTRACT: With increasing demand of the public toward antimicrobial textiles, there should be the proper fabrication of such types of clothes, and it is possible with biogenically synthesized metal nanoparticles (NPs). It is necessary to find cheap and eco-friendly resources for such synthesis. In this work, we used Polygonum microcephalum from Assam, India, to synthesize copper and silver (Ag) NPs. As far as we know, this is the first report on the synthesis of AgNPs and copper oxide NPs (CuONPs) from P. microcephalum The synthesis was done from the aqueous leaf extract. The AgNPs and CuONPs formation was observed by the change in the color of the solution and was confirmed by UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.
