BIOSYNTHESIS OF IRON OXIDE NANOPARTICLES IN THE PRESENCE OF PUNICA GRANATUM L. EXTRACTS AND EVALUATION OF THEIR ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY Laouini Salah Eddine1 University Hamma Lakhdar, El Oued, Algeria Abstract The objectives of this study are oriented towards the biosynthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles in the presence of the extract of Punica granatum L., as well as the study of their plasmonic properties and their use. [...]we will describe the most common synthesis strategies as well as the optical properties of these particles and their different fields of application. [...]both the synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles, by the green method, as well as their antimicrobial activity will be assessed. [...]achieving a good adhesion between bio-fillers and the polymer represents one of the major challenges in composite materials. [...]the objective of this paper was to investigate the effect of PHBV grafted maleic anhydride (PHBV-g-MA) compatibilizer used at 5 wt. %, on the morphology and properties of PHBV/OHF biocomposites at various filler contents, i.e., 10, 20 and 30 wt.%. The rationale for using micro- and nano-particles, behind the concept, is to transport and maintain the molecules of bioactive compounds in close contact with the affected tissues, organs or even cells. Besides the specificity, other advantages are the protection of the drug against premature inactivation up to the place of action, the reduction of the toxicity and the frequency of administration.
