| dc.description.abstract | Nanoparticles, especially the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), have been widely used in different biomedical
applications and nanotechnology fields. Bioreduction of silver nitrate (AgNO3) for the biosynthesis of AgNPs can be
done by using a plant extract. This research was focused on the biosynthesize an eco-friendly, inexpensive, and simple
method of AgNPs using aqueous bulb extract of Myrmecodia pendans. The formation of AgNPs can be proved by the
changing of the color, UV-VIS Spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscope (SEM and TEM), X-ray
spectroscopy diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Current results confirmed that
AgNPs could be synthesized by using aqueous bulb extract of M. pendans which has a peak of absorption at the
wavelength of 400 nm in a 1:8 ratio solution between AgNO3 and the extract. The acidity of resulted AgNPs was ranged
from 6.3 to 4.5 and stable for several days. Based on SEM and TEM image, the average particle size ranged from 20.70
nm to 37.88 nm and in line with the XRD result. The FTIR analysis determined several functional groups of AgNPs. | en_US |
