SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF TIN OXIDE NANOPARTICLES WITH ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITY Authors: Ranjitha S And Silambarasan J*
ABSTRACT
Nanomaterials have unique properties compared to their bulk counterparts. For this
reason, nanotechnology has attracted a great deal of attention from the scientific community. In
this work ultra-fine tin oxide has been synthesized by chemical precipitation method. X-
diffraction method confirm the formation of SnO2 nanoparticles with average size of the range of
4 to 173 nm. Antibacterial activity of the SnO2 nanorods has been studied against three bacteria
namely Staphylococcus aures, Klebsiella pneumonia and Salmonella typhi, and two fungi
Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger exhibit is their antimicrobial behavior against pathogenic
bacteria.
