Abstract

Silver (Ag) nanoparticles have been synthesized by simple co-precipitation method. X-ray diffraction studies indicated the formation of Face centered cubic (FCC) Silver nanoparticles with grain size of 38 nm. Surface morphology of Silver (Ag) nanoparticles has been studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Application of prepared silver nano particles for the treatment on the wounds of rabbits have been studied. It is inferred that both silver nanoparticle ointment and solution may be used as an alternate to antibiotics cream when antibiotic resistance is suspected. Keywords: Biological Study; Chemical method; Silver Nanoparticle; SEM; TEM.
