Abstract
This study highlights the eco-friendly synthesis of polymer-encapsulated silver
nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Asparagus racemosus extract as a natural reducing and
stabilizing agent. This approach provides a sustainable and cost-effective alternative
to conventional chemical methods, minimizing the use of toxic reagents and promoting
green nanotechnology. This biogenic synthesis approach reduces environmental impact
and leverages the therapeutic properties of Asparagus racemosus, known for its medicinal
benefits. The synthesized AgNPs were encapsulated in a polymer matrix to improve
stability and enable controlled release, enhancing their suitability for biomedical
use. Characterization of the synthesized nanoparticles using UV-Vis spectroscopy,
FTIR, XRD and TEM confirmed their successful formation, consistent morphology and
nanoscale dimensions.
The polymer-encapsulated AgNPs demonstrated strong antimicrobial effects against
various pathogenic bacteria, indicating broad-spectrum potential. This green synthesis
approach not only ensures sustainable NPs production but also underscores the potential
of these AgNPs as dual-functional agents for antioxidant and antimicrobial therapy.
The findings suggest that Asparagus racemosus-mediated AgNPs could be developed
into effective therapeutic agents with lower environmental impact and improved biomedical
performance.
