Abstract

Silver nanoparticles are extensively being studied for various applications in different fields. Functionalized silver nanoparticles are now being used as drug carriers. Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is a well-known antioxidant which has been reported to have various beneficial properties to humans. Here we have synthesized silver nanoparticles functionalized with ascorbic acid. The functionalized nanoparticles were further coated with PEG. The nanoparticle synthesis was characterized using UV-Visible spectral analysis, XRD, FTIR and Scanning electron microscope. The average size of the nanoparticle was found to be 24 nm. The synthesized nanoparticle was found to possess antioxidative effects.
