ABSTRACT: Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) using biomolecular extracts of
plant origin is of interest to many researchers because of their potential to
produced stable product. It is hypothesized that laser ablation of the AgNP
in solution will enhance the biomolecules such as aliphatic amines, alkenes (=C-H), alkanes (C-H), alcohol (O-H) and unsaturatedesters (C-O) in the
Nano emulsion. Hence, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect
of laser oblation on the physicochemical properties and stability of AgNP
reduced with Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis ). Experiments were conducted
with the pre-made AgNP were subjected to the three laser oblation treatments:
1) Control no laser treatment of AgNP, 2) Laser ablation treatment
for 5 minutes and 3) Laser ablation treatment for 10 minutes. The results of
the analysis show that laser oblation treatment has significant effect (p p -1 at
different laser exposure treatments times 0, 5 and 10 min, respectively. The
FTIR results show significant (p C-H), alkanes (C-H), alcohol (O-H) and
unsaturatedesters (C-O).
