Abstract
CuO nanoparticles were synthesized by thermal decomposition methods and characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, XRD and TEM analysis. The resultant particles are nearly spherical and particle size is in the range of 15-30 nm. The antioxidant behavior of synthesized CuO nanoparticles was evaluated by scavenging free radicals of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl hydrate (DPPH). The free radical scavenging activity of CuO nanoparticles was monitored by UV-visible spectrophotometry. The antibacterial activity of CuO nanoparticles was tested against different bacterial strains. CuO nanoparticles showed efficient antioxidant activity and bactericidal effect against Eschericia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.Entities:
