MICROWAVE-ASSISTED GREEN SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF TITANIUM OXIDE NANOPARTICLES USING CENTELLA ASIATICA (L.) LEAF EXTRACT AND THEIR ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY
Abstract
- Green synthesis of titanium oxide (TiO2) nanoparticles was successfully developed by using Centella asiatica leaf extract. Metal oxide nanoparticles have a high specific surface area and a high fraction of surface atoms. Titanium oxide nanoparticles have unique properties as a consequence of this size, distribution and morphology and are a very important component in the rapidly developing fields of nanotechnology. In this research, titanium oxide nanoparticles with leaf extract percent were characterized by instrumental analysis such as X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and UV-Vis Spectroscopy. Generated titanium oxide nanoparticles were investigated different degree of antimicrobial activity against micro-organisms and it was observed that the zone of inhibition whose diameters were estimated. This research can provide useful and comprehensive results because of their main physicochemical properties and some of their medical applications.
