Abstract
In this study the silver nanoparticles were synthesized (AgNPs) under incandescent light environment at room temperature using aqueous silk fibroin (SF) solution obtained from Bombyx mori silk. The formed nanoparticles were characterized using different analytical techniques. The UV-visible spectroscopy study confirmed the formation of spherical nanoparticles in silk fibroin solution by exhibiting localized surface plasmon resonance at λ= 412 nm. The transmission electron microscope images confirmed the formed nanoparticles are spherical in shape with smooth boundary. The diameter of the formed nanoparticles are about 20-25nm. Further, X-ray diffraction measurements revealed the nanocrystalline phase of silver nanoparticles with face centered cubic crystal structure. The average hydrodynamic size of the nanoparticles studied using dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements.
