Abstract
Nanotechnology has built its application in numerous fields because of its high efficiency. It is an emerging field where novel ideas are being brought to make our life easier and better. Selenium is a micronutrient and it has a vital role in the metabolism of humans and other organisms. Its absorption and efficiency increase when they are in the form of nanoparticles. This work is about the synthesis of Selenium nanoparticles from sweet potatoes and coconut water by using the bio-synthesis method and coating them on cotton fabrics to treat mastitis. After the reduction of selenite, brick red coloured powder was observed. The UV spectrometry analysis was used to indicate the presence of Selenium. In biosynthesis, functional groups will remain in these nanoparticles. The morphological features of Selenium nanoparticles were studied using XRD, SEM and EDAX. The antioxidative and antimicrobial studies of these nanoparticles were examined.
