Green Synthesis Of Nanosilver From The Extract Of Chromolaena Odorata (L.) In The Thermosensitive Pluronic Hydrogel

Abstract

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is an environmentally friendly method that eliminates the drawbacks of chemical and physical methods. The polymer solution is known to stabilize and enhance the characteristics of the nanoparticles as well as the biological compound used in green synthesis. Green synthesis of AgNPs was expected to be successful in the Pluronic F127 polymer system with the use of Chromolaena odorata (L.) extract as a reducing agent. As a result, by performing UV-VIS and XRD spectra, AgNPs were proven to be successfully fabricated. The ideal condition for the experiment was 7.5% F127 polymer base and 2500ppm fractional plant extract. Furthermore, it was shown by the TEM results that AgNPs achieved the spherical shape and the size of 20–25 nm. In addition, the synthesis method could be considered to be useful in AgNPs fabrication field, and the material could be developed as a potential multifunctional hydrogel system for use in various biomedical application in the future
