Abstract
Cardiospermum halicacabum L. is a medicinal plant with enormous therapeutic properties. The synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles
using Cardiospermum halicacabum extract was studied. The synthesis of silver nanoparticles was confirmed by a change in the colour within 10 to 15 min.
Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles is an economically viable approach. The visual observations, EDAX and SEM spectroscopic techniques confirmed
the formation of silver nanoparticles.
