The present study reports a very easy and green synthesis of poly (vinyl alcohol) stabilized silver nanoparticles using Simul (Bombax ceiba) flower extract.&#13;
Methodology: The aqueous extract of Simul (Bombax ceiba) flower was used for this bio-reduction. When PVA supported aqueous silver ions exposed to aqueous Simul flower extract, silver ions were reduced and result was green synthesis of silver nanoparticles.&#13;
Results: The produced silver nanoparticles were characterised by different technique which includes UV__ampersandsignndash;vis spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The highest peak at 470 nm in UV-visible spectrum due to surface Plasmon resonance confirmed the presence of silver nanoparticles. TEM analysis showed the spherical and irregular particles shape and size ranging from 20 to 100 nm.&#13;
Conclusion: This single-pot method for synthesis of silver nanoparticle is eco-friendly and cost effective than other hazardous chemical methods. Different therapeutic use of PVA-supported silver nanoparticles synthesized from Simul flower, otherwise thrown away as ineffective material into environment is note worthy.&#13;
