INTRODUCTION
New applications of nanoparticles and nanomaterials Green synthesis provides advancement over chemical
are emerging rapidly. Nanocrystalline silver particles and physical method as it is cost effective,
have found tremendous applications in the field of environment friendly, easily scaled up for large scale
high sensitivity bio molecular detection and synthesis and in this method there is no need to use
diagnostics, antimicrobials and therapeutics, catalysis high pressure, energy, temperature and toxic
