Abstract

The present study, deals with investigating effect of biosynthesis method. In this method the interaction time on morphology and size of copper sulphate pentahydrate. Nano particles synthesized using aqueous bark extract. The plant extracts plays a vital role in the field of nanotechnology as it is environmentally friendly and does not involved any harmful chemicals. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by using UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction(XRD),fourier transform infrared spectrometer(FTIR) analysis, SEM were carried out to determine the nature of the capping agents in aegles marmelos bark extract . The antimicrobial activity of the synthesized nanoparticles were also examined. The result confirmed this protocol as simple, rapid, one step eco-friendly, non-toxic and an alternative conventional physico-chemical method.

Keywords: Nanoparticle, antimicrobial, SEM, FT-IR., XRD.
