Abstract
The field of nanotechnology is the most active area of research in modern material
science. Though there are many chemical as well as physical methods, green synthesis of
nanomaterials is the most emerging method of synthesis. In the present work AgNPS were
synthesised using the plant leaf extract (Mango Leaves) and their Antimicrobial and antioxidant
properties are studied. The synthesized nanocrystals were characterized using UV-VISIBLE
SPECTROSCOPY, XRD, FTIR SPECTROSCOPY and SEM. This environmental friendly method
provides simple, easy and cost effective faster synthesis of nanoparticles and can be used in
medicines.
