Synthesis and structural characterization of Pb nanoparticles by electrolysis using a bioactive compound-konjac aqueous extract is the main aim of this study. This method is a unique, novel, low cost and double-step procedure with good reproducibility and has not been used for nanoparticles preparation so far. Konjac extract has been added to prevent the oxidation of Pb nanoparticles. Also the synthesized nanoparticles have been dried in open air to observe their stability. Various types of characterization tools have been utilized to study characters of the end product. Anti-bacterial Studies has also been done. After completion of synthesis process that we have made an attempt to change the shape of the synthesized nanoparticles by the influence of sunbeams and to find the effects of the sunlight on nanomaterials.

This work reports a simple, novel, cost effective and eco-friendly electrolytic synthesis of silver nanoparticles using AgNO3 as metal precursor. The synthesis rate is much faster than other methods and this approach is suitable for large scale production. They are characterized by XRD, SEM and FT-IR techniques to analyze size, morphology and functional groups. XRD studies reveal a high degree of crystallinity and monophasic Ag nanoparticles. Their particle size is found to be 24 nm and specific surface area (SSA) is 24 m2 g-1. Analysis of Ag nanoparticles SSA reports that increasing their SSA improves their antibacterial actions. Microbiology assay founds that Ag nanoparticles are effective against E.coli and B.megaterium bacteria. SSA of bacteria analysis reveals that it plays a major role while reacting with antimicrobial agents.

This work reports aspect related to nano-sized particles of jackfruit seed. FTIR spectrum was recorded for functional groups analysis and EDAX analysis was done to identify the various elements of the sample. Both FTIR and EDAX analysis results indicated the presence of Starch. FTIR analysis confirmed the availability of anti-microbial Sulphur derivatives compounds. Microbiology assay found that jackfruit seed nanoparticles were effective against Escherichia coli and Bacillus megaterium bacteria. This work also investigated about the dual-function of the sample i.e. food ingredients possessing antimicrobial activities. Specific surface area of bacteria analysis revealed that it played a major role while on reactions with jackfruit seed nanoparticles.
