Grewia tenax-Mediated Silver Nanoparticles as Efficient Antibacterial and Antifungal Agents

Figure 3

Three‐dimensional (3D) response surface plots evaluate the cumulative impact variations for different variables (AgNO₃ concentration, extract volume, and temperature) on the size distribution of silver nanoparticles, which is in agreement with two-dimensional (2D) plots obtained by BBD for GTAgNPs. (a) and (d) are 3D and 2D plots for the effect on the size on AgNPs when variation in extract volume and AgNO₃ concentration is taken into consideration. Similarly, (b) and (e) represent 3D and 2D plots for deviation in the size of metallic nanoparticles if temperature and AgNO₃ concentrations are changed. Also, (c) and (f) gives BBD analysis of deviation in AgNPs size with different ranges of temperature and variable extract volume.
