The synthetic techniques, for the synthesis of Metal oxide nanoparticles involve toxic solvents, high pressure, high-energy and high temperature which may be efficient but not eco-friendly. The synthetic techniques for metal oxide nanoparticles using plants, has several advantages over the chemical synthesis such as cost effectiveness, simplicity as well as compatibility for medical applications. In this part of the study we are using the cynodon dactylon leaf extracts to synthesize titanium dioxide nanoparticles. The properties of TiO 2 include high refractive index, light absorption, non toxicity, chemical stability and relatively low cost production. The cynodon dactylon leaf has reduced the size of TiO 2 nanoparticles. In the present study antibacterial effect of TiO 2 nanoparticles on E. coli strain was analyzed. The well diffusion assay is used to confirm the inhibition zone of bacteria. Further the characteristics of the obtained TiO 2 nanoparticles were studied using XRD, FTIR, Laser Raman spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopic and the results are presented in detail.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
