Green Procedure for the synthesis of Copper Nanoparticles using Nerium oleander Leaf Extract: Characterizations and Applications

Abstract

In the present study, Copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) are produced using Nerium Oleander leaf extract via a green process. The prepared samples were examined by powder‒X-ray diffraction (P-XRD), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy; Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and antibacterial screenings. According to XRD measurements, the Cu-NPs have a monoclinic form. According to UV-Vis study, the minimal absorbance between 250 and 1000 nm is due to by the formation of high-quality samples. The functional groups of Cu-NPs were verified by FT-IR spectroscopy. According to the FE-SEM analysis, the Cu-NPs are clusters of smaller cylindrical objects with good uniformity. The antibacterial results show that the samples are fairly effective against Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi bacterium. The findings indicate that Cu-NPs can be used in the medical sector for surgical tools.

Nanoparticles in Drilling Fluid

“…Even consumer product commercials utilize the prefix "nano" as a keyword to highlight specific qualities. The technology used at the nanoscale with practical applications is referred to as nanotechnology [12]. Nanomaterials' special chemical and physical characteristics can be used for useful applications that advance society.…”

“…The use of nanoparticles in drilling fluids is one such frontier that has attracted a lot of interest [11]. Because of their extraordinary qualities and tiny size, nanoparticles provide a viable way to transform traditional drilling methods [12]. In order to create a thorough grasp of the driving forces, difficulties, and possible advancements in this developing subject, this chapter explores the basic features of nanoparticles in drilling fluids.…”
