| dc.description.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 | en_US |
