Synthesis of silver nanoparticle synthesis from tea leaf (Camellia Sinensis)extract and study on its antimicrobial

Current nanotechnology research uses a lot of chemicals, which are potential threat to both environment and public health.Therefore the need to find more environmental friendly procedures for the production of nanoparticles arises.This research is done in with the purpose of synthesizing silver nano...
