ABSTRACT

One of the main subjects in nanoscience is the integration of green chemistry principles to nanotechnology. Recently the ever-increasing need to develop eco-friendly metal nanoparticle synthesis processes is observed. In this research, the ability of the bark extracts of Pongamia pinnata was examined as novel reducing agents for the green synthesis of copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs). Biosynthesized Cu-NPs were characterized by UV–Vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Antioxidant assay. The DPPH assay clearly shows the antioxidant activity of the copper nanoparticles synthesized using Pongamia pinnata. Keywords: Pongamia pinnata, Cu-NPs, UV-Vis, FTIR, Antioxidant
