Cytotoxicity, antibacterial and antifungal activities of ZnO nanoparticles prepared by theArtocarpus gomezianusfruit mediated facile green combustion method

Spherical nanoparticles of zinc oxide (ZnO NPs) were synthesized by an eco-friendly green combustion method using citrate containingArtocarpus gomezianusfruit extract as a fuel. The morphology, com-positions and structure of the product were characterized by Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD), Scanning...
