In the current study, γ- Fe 2 O 3/ SiO 2/ PCA / Ag -NPs hybrid nanomaterials were successfully synthesized and characterized. At first, prepared γ- Fe 2 O 3 core nanoparticles were modified by SiO 2 layer. Then they were covered by poly citric acid (PCA) via melting esterification method as well. PCA shell acts as an effective linker, and provides vacancies for conveying drugs. Moreover, this shell as an effective capping agent directs synthesis of silver nanoparticles ( Ag -NPs) via in situ photo-reduction of silver ions by sunlight-UV irradiation. This system has several benefits as a suitable cancer therapy nanomaterial. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) can guide Ag -NPs and drugs to cancer cells and then Ag -NPs can affect those cells via Ag -NPs anti-angiogenesis effect. Size and structure of the prepared magnetic hybrid nanomaterials were characterized using FTIR and UV-Vis spectra, AFM and TEM pictures and XRD data.

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the silk sericin (SS) solution by in situ reduction at room temperature is reported. The effect of pH on the reduction reaction is studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The structure of the sericin-based silver nanoparticles is characterized by TEM. According to the TEM images, the average size of the silver nanoparticles is about 16 nm. The silver nanoparticles are highly dispersed and stable in silk sericin solution for monthes.

Semi-IPN hydrogels in which silk sericin (SS) chains were physically dispersed throughout dextran (Dex) gel networks were synthesized. Highly stable distributed silver nanoparticles have been prepared using these semi-IPN hydrogels as a carrier via in situ reduction of silver nitrate without the addition of any reducing agent. The resultant semi-IPN hydrogel-silver nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). And the swelling behavior of the hydrogles was also studied.

Development of an ecofriendly, reliable, and rapid process for synthesis of nanoparticles using biological system is an important bulge in nanotechnology. Antioxidant potential and medicinal value of Adiantum philippense L. fascinated us to utilize it for biosynthesis of gold and silver nanoparticles (AuNPs and AgNPs). The current paper reports utility of aqueous extract of A. philippense L. fronds for the green synthesis of AuNPs and AgNPs. Effect of various parameters on synthesis of nanoparticles was monitored by UV-Vis spectrometry. Optimum conditions for AuNPs synthesis were 1 : 1 proportion of original extract at pH 11 and 5 mM tetrachloroauric acid, whereas optimum conditions for AgNPs synthesis were 1 : 1 proportion of original extract at pH 12 and 9 mM silver nitrate. Characterization of nanoparticles was done by TEM, SAED, XRD, EDS, FTIR, and DLS analyses. The results revealed that AuNPs and AgNPs were anisotropic. Monocrystalline AuNPs and polycrystalline AgNPs measured 10 to 18 nm in size. EDS and XRD analyses confirmed the presence of elemental gold and silver. FTIR analysis revealed a possible binding of extract to AuNPs through –NH2 group and to AgNPs through C=C group. These nanoparticles stabilized by a biological capping agent could further be utilized for biomedical applications.
