Abstract

Nanotechnology is becoming a new area of increasing research and industrial interest since the 1980. Nanochemistry or Nanotechnology are related with the production and the reactions of Nanoparticles and their compounds. The present study included the chemical reduction of titanium ions through trisodium citrate and testing for their antimicrobial activity. The scope of the present study is to synthesize titanium Nanoparticles and evaluate its antibacterial activity. The present study to investigate synthesize titanium Nanoparticles and characterization of synthesized titanium Nanoparticles confirmed by UV-visible spectrophotometer, FTIR analysis and SEM analysis and also to analysis the antimicrobial activity of titanium Nanoparticles.

Keywords: Antimicrobial, FTIR, Nanoparticals, SEM, UV-spectrometer.
