    Synthesis of carbon nanoparticles by using seed oils and evaluation of their biological applications
    (UMT, Lhr, 2015) MUHAMMAD SALMAN MUHSAN
    Synthesis of carbon nanoparticles was carried out by using different seed oils (mustard, olive, linseed, castor, almond, eucalyptus and cardamom oils). Simple combustion technique was applied and it was as efficient as other methods such as laser ablation, chemical vapor deposition, arc discharge. Nano particles of Carbon having nano range were synthesized by using the above stated oils by the help of this simplistic and inexpensive technique. The characterization was done by powder Thermo Gravimetric analysis (TGA), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy (FTIR). The average size of carbon nanoparticles by using mustard oil, olive oil, linseed oil, almond oil, eucalyptus oil, lemon oil and cardamom oil was observed that was 18 nm, 24nm, 57nm, 3.46nm, 3.042nm, 4.69nm and 4.70nm respectively.as explored by using powder X-Ray Diffraction technique. Surface morphology of these synthesized carbon nanostructures was predicted by the help of scanning electron microscopy technique. The screening of these produced carbon nanoparticles was done for antibacterial activities against different species (e.g. Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus haemolyticus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus refrigere) and productive results were obtained.
