The present work concerns on the synthesis of silver nanoparticles at 25 ºC using raw fruits extract of Bakul (Mimusops elengi) tree via chemical reduction route development of poly(vinyl alcohol) PVA-silver polymer nanocomposite films. The nanocomposite films were subjected to characterization by UV-visible, FTIR, X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and thermal studies. The UV-visible spectrum shows a characteristic broad absorption band observed near 465 nm suggesting presence of silver nanoparticles in polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) film. The vibrational band shift of –OH group of poly(vinyl alcohol) in the presence of nanoparticle designated the chemical interaction between –OH group of poly(vinyl alcohol) and silver nanoparticles. The FESEM study confirmed that PVA is not only acted as a capping agent, but also a cross-linking agent. X-ray diffraction study shows that the existence of AgNPs in the poly nanocomposite film and nanoaparticles are crystalline in nature. Thermal studies suggest that the enhanced thermal stability is because of the good packing of the polar crystallites in β-PVA composites as compared to the non-polar α-phase of neat poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA).

In order to analyze the polarization of Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) film, both the polarizing film and polarizing film exposed to UV light were prepared and investigated by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and polarized UV-Visible Spectrometer. Through a series of experiments, it was found that the crystallization degree of the unirradiated PVA film was higher than that of the UV-irradiated PVA film. Furthermore, the transmittance of both unirradiated PVA film and UV-irradiated PVA film was selective, different wavelength and different polarizing angles parallelism different light transmittance.

The present investigation demonstrates the formation of silver nanoparticles by the reduction of the aqueous silver metal ions during exposure to the Lagenaria siceraria leaf extract. The synthesized AgNPs have characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) techniques. AgNPs formation has screened by UV-visible spectroscopy through colour conversion due to surface plasma resonance band at 427 nm. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed that the resulting AgNPs are highly crystalline and the structure is face centered cubic (fcc). FT-IR spectrum indicates the presence of different functional groups present in the biomolecules capping the nanoparticles. Further, inhibitory activity of AgNPs and leaf extract were tested against human pathogens like gram-pastive (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis), gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). The results indicated that the AgNPs showed moderate inhibitory actions against human pathogens than Lagenaria siceraria leaf extract, demonstrating its antimicrobial value against pathogenic diseases

AbstractThe present report summarizes an eco-friendly approach for the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the leaf extract of lavender. Initially, the synthesis of AgNPs was visually observed by the appearance of a wine red color. The optical property, morphology, and structure of as-synthesized AgNPs were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction analyses. All characterization data revealed the formation of crystalline and spherical AgNPs (Ag/Ag

A facile method for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (NPs) has been developed by using sodium phosphate (Na3PO4) as stabilizing agents and glucose the reducing agent, respectively. The obtained silver NPs have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that in the presence of sodium phosphate, silver NPs with different morphologies and sizes were obtained. The formation mechanism of diverse silver NPs was studied preliminarily.

ABSTRACTThis paper describes the synthesis, structure and properties of a new layered nanocomposite which may have applications in cementitious systems. This material is one example of a new class of materials which consist of inorganic crystals containing intercalated organic polymer. The nanocomposite is synthesized by precipitating Ca2Al(OH)6[X]·nH2O (X=OH−, CO3−2) in the presence of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that the nanocomposite consists of calcium aluminate layers separated by interlayers containing anions, water and PVA. The intercalation of PVA can only be accomplished during crystal growth and is accompanied by an expansion in layer spacing from ˜8 Å to ˜18 Å. The nanocomposite exhibited enhanced thermal stability and when compacted into a cylinder was found to have more than twice the compressive strength than the pure calcium aluminate.

Abstract Poly(vinyl alcohol) films were prepared with manganous chloride (MnCl2 · 4H2O) and glycerin as complex plasticizer. The micro morphology of pure PVA film and complex plasticizer plasticized PVA films was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The interaction between complex plasticizer and PVA molecules was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The influence of complex plasticizer on crystalline, thermal and mechanical properties of PVA films was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), and tensile testing, respectively. The results showed that the complex plasticizer of MnCl2 · 4H2O/glycerin could interacted with PVA molecular and then effectively destroy the crystals of PVA. PVA films plasticized with complex plasticizer of MnCl2 · 4H2O/glycerin became soft and ductile, with lower tensile strength and higher elongation at break compared with PVA films. This is an important cause of plasticization of the complex plasticizer of MnCl2 · 4H2O/glycerin on PVA films.

New chitosan/poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofibers functionalized with silver nanoparticles were electrospun using solutions of PVA blended with silver nanoparticles-chitosan composites. The structure of the electrospun fibers were studied with the aid of scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results indicated that the electrospun fibers smoothly with 220 to 650 nm diameter, and the silver nanoparticles were successfully embed into the fibers which show high antibacterial activity against E.coli.
