Abstract:
Finely divided silver nanoparticles were synthesized via hydrothermal method. Arabic gum was
used as reductant and steric-stabilizer both without any other material. Nano particles less than
100 nm have made an excellent impact in biomedical applications like diagnostic and medical
devices for personalized health care particles. Silver nano particles with various characteristics
can be-obtained by adjusting the reaction temperature, mass ratio of Arabic gum and silver
nitrate. Sample products were characterized by FTIR, SEM and X-RD measurements. It was
noticed that temperature and Arabic Gum played an important role in the synthesis-of silver nano
particles. Well dispersed and fine form of silver nano particles were obtained under the
conditions of 0.5 mmol/L AgNo3 m(Ag)/m(AgNo3)=1:1, 160 0C for 3hrs. We discussed the
chemical cytoxicity and Plasmonic properties of nano particles and also the current application
of AgNps
