Synthesis and Photonics Applications of Afzelechin Conjugated Silver Nanoparticles

The silver nanoparticles were synthesized, functionalized with afzelechin and characterized using UV-Visible spectroscopy. A difference of 20 nm was observed in surface plasmon resonance of bare and functionalized silver nanoparticles which indicates afzelechin conjugation with silver nanoparticles....
