BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF TIN OXIDE NANOPARTICLES SYNTHESIZED USING PLANT EXTRACT

Abstract

SnO2 nanoparticles was prepared by using Cleistanthus Collinus plant methanolic extract. The formation of tin oxide nanoparticles were confirmed by XRD, SEM and EDAX. The average crystallite size of SnO2 nanoparticles was found to be 49.26nm.The antibacterial activities of SnO2 nanoparticles were studied by using Escherichia coli and S.aureus and antifungal activities were studied by using Asperjillus Nigar and T.viridea. Furthermore, the antioxidant activities of SnO2 nanoparticles were studied by DPPH Scavenging method.
