Abstract

The commercial demand increased for the nanoparticles because they are eligible for application on a large scale in various fields like electronics, Chemical catalytic, energy and medicine.

The mineral nanoparticles may be manufactured traditionally by humid chemical techniques, whereas the used chemical substances may be poisonous and flammable in many cases.

At this work, we described a technique effective in cost and co-friendly, for the green synthesis of Nanoparticles, by the extract of yerba mate plant as a reducing factor.

The nanoparticles had been described by using the Atomic force Microscopy (AFM).

AFM analysis shows that the average size of yerba mate particles amounts 70 nanometers. The current study points out that the nanoparticles have a good effect as a bacteriostatic gent for the tested E.coli and S. aurous.
