Abstract:The recent developments in nanotechnology have driven researchers towards the application of latex extracts for the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). In this study, AgNPs were biologically synthesized using latex extracts from Tabernaemontana ventricosa, characterized, and their respective biological activities were assessed. Our results showed prominent silver (Ag) peaks at 410 nm confirmed by UV-vis while the elemental percentage composition (3.89 ± 0.16%) of the AgNPs was verified by EDX. The… Show more
