Fruit-derived core-shell nanospheres

摘要

The fruit-derived core-shell nanospheres uses mixing silver nitrate and Pouteria caimito extract as a method for the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles, followed by coating the nanoparticles with silica. These core-shell nanospheres may be produced by aqueous extraction of dried P. caimito fruit and mixing and incubating the resulting P. caimito extract with silver nitrate to produce a nanoparticle composition including the silver nanoparticles. The nanoparticles may be subsequently coated with silica by mixing with a silica precursor. The core-shell nanospheres show activity against oral cancer.
