Abstract
Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles is the most phenomena topic that has affected all aspects of nanotechnology research, especially modern material sciences. The current study focuses on using endemic Hypercium capitatum in silver nanocomposite synthesis and investigating quorum quenching effects on Choromobacter violaceum and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The strong absorption SPR peak appeared at about 432 nm. The optical bandgap of Ag/Ag2O nanocomposites was predicted as about 1.95 eV by Tauc’s plot equation. The size distribution of Ag/Ag2O nanocomposites with spherical shape ranged from 20.55 nm to 30.76 nm by SEM images. XRD findings confirmed the pure crystalline nature of biogenic Ag/Ag2O nanocomposites with an average 30 nm size. FTIR spectrum indicated the presence of bioactive functional components responsible for the bioreduction of bulk AgNO3 to Ag/Ag2O nanocomposites. The Ag/Ag2O nanocomposites effectively inhibited the pyocyanin and violacein-producing controlled by quorum sensing. This could be a promising achievement in a struggle with many persistent and dynamic pathogens.
期刊介绍:
The journal offers a common reference and publication source for workers engaged in research on the experimental and theoretical aspects of crystal growth and its applications, e.g. in devices. Experimental and theoretical contributions are published in the following fields: theory of nucleation and growth, molecular kinetics and transport phenomena, crystallization in viscous media such as polymers and glasses; crystal growth of metals, minerals, semiconductors, superconductors, magnetics, inorganic, organic and biological substances in bulk or as thin films; molecular beam epitaxy, chemical vapor deposition, growth of III-V and II-VI and other semiconductors; characterization of single crystals by physical and chemical methods; apparatus, instrumentation and techniques for crystal growth, and purification methods; multilayer heterostructures and their characterisation with an emphasis on crystal growth and epitaxial aspects of electronic materials. A special feature of the journal is the periodic inclusion of proceedings of symposia and conferences on relevant aspects of crystal growth.
