FABRICATION OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES SYNTHESIZED FROM GANODERMA LUCIDUM INTO THE COTTON FABRIC AND ITS ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTY
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
Objectives: To synthesize and characterize the silver nanoparticles from the mushroom, Ganoderma lucidum and application of this nanoparicle into the cotton fabric to impart sterility.Methods: SNPs synthesised by using the fruiting body of Ganoderma lucidum, Resulted AgNPs fabricated cotton fabric was characterized using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and silver nanoparticles produced from G. lucidum were characterized using UV-VIS Spectrophotometer, SEM, FE-SEM (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope), EDAX (Energy dispersion X-RAY spectroscopy)and XRD (X-ray diffraction spectroscpy). Then the incorporated cotton fabric was tested against 5 different strains.Results: The results showed that cotton fabric incorporated with AgNPs displayed significant antibacterial activity against all the selected strains.Conclusion: It was demonstrated that application of biologically synthesized AgNPs production and fabrication of cotton fabric, indicates sterile properties. Further it can be modified as perfect wound dressing material in the health care market. Moreover to avoid the damage to the environment the fabric containing silver nanoparticles can be treated with cyanogenic bacterial strains.
