Popis: Recently, Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have become widely applied nanomaterial in human contacting areas such as cosmetics, food and medicine due to their antibacterial property. On the other hand, surfactants are essential ingredient of several industrial and consumer formulations. Based on these important applications, the current research was aimed to carry out the synthesis and characterization of Tween 80 capped silver nanoparticles (T80-AgNPs) using gamma radiation reduction method. Characterization of T80-AgNPs was occurred by using UV-Vis, XRD, FTIR and TEM techniques. UV-Visible spectra showed surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak in the range of 420 nm signifying the synthesis of colloidal AgNPs. TEM confirmed the formation of spherical and uniformly distributed AgNPs with average size of 18 nm. XRD analysis illustrated the formation of pure crystalline AgNPs. The FTIR analysis provides evidence for the stabilization of AgNPs by Tween 80. The synthesized T80-AgNPs were evaluated for antibacterial activity against both
