Abstract

Study of structural and antimicrobial properties of copper nanoparticles synthesized by green synthesis process with pomegranate juice as stabilising and capping agent. This process is the promising approach in the field of nanotechnology with their effective antimicrobial activity and also it is a cost-effective and environment friendly method, as it eliminates the need for hazardous chemicals and reduces waste generation. The biomolecules present in plant extracts, such as flavonoids, proteins, tannins, phenols and terpenoids act as both reducing and stabilizing agents during synthesis process. Pomegranate juice contains phytochemical components that can efficiently convert metal ions into copper nanoparticles quickly. The green synthesized copper nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Visible, XRD, SEM, EDX and effective antimicrobial activity. The characteristic UV absorption peaks were observed at 220 nm and 232.5 nm. From the XRD it was found that the average particle size were found to be 43,9 nm. The CuNps have demonstrated the antimicrobial activity against a range of bacteria ( Pseudomonas, proteus, staphylococcus and basillus)
