Bio-directed synthesis of nanoparticles is an interesting field of rapid advancement for biologists,chemists and materials scientists, especially in light of efforts to find out green methods of inorganicmaterial synthesis. In the present study, green synthesis of platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) using sheepmilk is reported for the first time. By adjusti...

Laccases belongs to multinuclear copper-containing oxidase and can act on a variety of aromatic and non-aromatic compounds. Due to their broad substrate specificity, they are considered as a promising candidate in various industrial and biotechnological sectors. They are regarded as a “Green Tool”/“Green Catalyst” in biotechnology. The present review focuses on structure, reaction mechanism, ca...

Fully bio-based monomers are used in the green synthesis of a vitrimeric poly(acetal) which can undergo both closed-loop mechanical and chemical recycling, fulfilling 11 out 12 chemistry principles.

Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NPs) synthesized by an implicitly environmentally benign process using Acanthospermum hispidum L. aqueous plant extract as an effective bio-oxidizing/bio-reducing agent. Phytochemical screening of the fresh aqueous leaves extract showed the presence of coumarins, tannins, saponins, phenols, flavonoids, sterols and volatile oils. Fourier transform infrared spectro...

silver is composed of a large percentage of silver oxide due to their large ratio of surface to bulk silver atoms. silver nanoparticles have been a potent antibacterial, antifungal, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory agent. a simple, eco-friendly, inexpensive biosynthetic method was employed to synthesize silver nanoparticles.  the present study aimed at the comparative study of silver nanopartic...

The aim of present study is to determine the content of some phytochemicals in stem and leaf extracts of the medicinal plant of Glycyrrhiza glabra and design a green method for biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles by these extracts as stabilizers and bioreducers. The properties of the synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were monitored by using Ultraviolet-Visible absorption spectroscopy (U...

an aqueous extract of pimpinella anisum was used for green synthesis of silver nanoparticles by bio reduction of an aqueous solution of silver nitrate. silver nanoparticles were characterized by uv–vis spectrometry, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (sem) and energy-dispersive x-ray analysis (edax). the increase in abs...

Nowadays, “green” is a hot topic almost everywhere, from retailers to universities to industries; and achieving a green status has become a universal aim. However, polymers are commonly considered not to be “green”, being associated with massive energy consumption and severe pollution problems (for example, the “Plastic Soup”) as a public stereotype. To achieve green polymers, three elements sh...
