78COMPARITIVE STUDY ON THE CHARACTERISATION OF GOLD NANOPARTICLES SYNTHESIZED USING VARIOUS PLANT EXTRACTSIt has been previously stated that good results have been attained with the nanoparticles synthesis and the size of the nanoparticles were holding commendable nanodimensions that makes the particles more attractive towards incredible applications. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized to get an insight on their morphology and size of the particles. The preliminary characterization was done using UV spectrophotometer. Then, the nanoparticles were studied under SEM and the size were found to be around 30 nm, which holds to be a remarkable nano dimension so far achieved through plant mediated synthesis. The EDAX results revealed the percentage of gold present in the nanoparticles and the degree of purity of the nanoparticles.brajuraj@yahoo.comReview512015Nanoparticles synthesis,EDAXKamala Priya M.R,Priya.
