Preparation, Characterization and Antibacterial Efficiency of Olive Leaves Extract and Chitosan-Silver Nanoparticles using Electrochemical Method
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN PHYSICS - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 0
Abstract
The present work involves the improvement of chitosan-olive leaves extract and silver nanoparticles (Cs-OLE-AgNPs) using electrochemical approach followed by UV-irradiation reduction. The formation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was characterized via UV–vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), EDX, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and Swelling. The obtained nanoparticles average size was 36.19 nm. UV Spectroscopy show increase of peaks at 320 and 345 nm indicate the formation of a large cluster of AgNPs. Cs-OLE and Cs-OLE-AgNPs also demon started a relativity high antibacterial against both Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria. AgNPs show broadspectrum antibacterial activity at lower concentration (0.56%) and may be regarded as a good alternative therapeutic approach in the future.

The Nature of Gravitation
Taking into account the equivalent principle of Einstein and the special relativity equations, we infered, for a flat space time, a new formulae of gravitation. We assume two reference frames, one of these at rest, in th...
On Mechanics of Light Propagation in Free Space with Final Temperature
Features of electromagnetic waves propagation of light range are considered in free space with final temperature 2.725K. The presence in space of temperature (and final density) allows justification to introduce the long...
A FIXED POINT APPROACH TO THE STABILITY OF GENERAL QUADRATIC EULER-LAGRANGE FUNCTIONAL EQUATIONS IN INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY SPACES
In this paper, we prove the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of a general k-quadratic Euler-Lagrange functional equation:for any fixed positive integer in intuitionistic fuzzy normed spaces using a fixed point method.
Simulation of An Asymmetric TM Metamaterial Waveguide Absorber
This paper tackles the simulation of an asymmetric TM mode absorption in a lossy metamaterial (left-handed) slab (LHM) sandwiched between a lossy substrate and coverd by a losseless dielectric cladding. The a...
Brain Interconnections
The interaction brain-machine is now an indissoluble fact. The repercussions this fact will have in future are presently unimaginable. As mentioned in [1] the nerve axon can now be modeled by a cable or a planar high spe...
