Introduction
Nanotechnology can be defined as the scientific discipline which deals with th nano sized atoms and involves in the synthesis of nanosized atoms runing from 1 to 100nm ( Sharma and Yangard,2009 ) . This field gained broad acknowledgment in the mid 20Thursdaycentury.This involvement was due to their alone electronic, magnetic, chemical and optical properties.Nanotechnology revolves around the production of nano sized atoms by seperation, consolidation and distortion of stuffs of one atom or molecule. When the molecules are seen in big majority they exhibit unvarying physical every bit good as chemical belongingss but at the nano size degrees, there arises a alteration in the overall nature of the substance. This self-generated alteration is due to the high surface volume ratio. The influence of nano atoms in human life is to by a figure of agencies ( Singh et al 2010 ) . It has a big figure of applications in industrial every bit good as medical sector.The applications in industrial sector ranges from fabric technology, biotechnology and biotechnology ( Niemeyer,2001 ) , H2O intervention ( Solov‘evet.al, 2007 ) , electronics ( Lee and Jeong ) , antibacterial or fungicidal belongingss besides they are major constituents in a diverse scope of consumer merchandises: air sanitizer, sprays, socks, pillows, slippers, inhalators, detergents, cell phones, shampoo, etc. The formation of nano atoms are formed under 3aspects:1 ) Dry nanotechnology 2 ) Wet nanotechnology 3 ) computational nanotechnology ( Jayashreeet.al,2012 ) . In the field of medical specialty, nanotechnology has been employed in presenting drugs, heat, visible radiation or other substances to specific types of cells particularly malignant neoplastic disease cells. Atoms are engineered in such a manner that the morbid cells attracts them leting direct intervention of those cells.The harm to healthy cells while utilizing nano atoms is minimum or nil doing them a good option for tumour intervention. Furthermore nano atoms have been employed in diagnostic techniques handling infective diseases, mending of damaged cells etc. The conventional methods of synthesizing nano atoms include physical and chemical methods.This includes micelle formation, sol procedure, chemical precipitation, hydrothermal method, chemical vapour deposition and pyrolysis ( Leela and Vivekanathan 2008 ) . Nanoparticles synthesis need a really good beginning of metals and they are produced from elements like gold, Ag, Bi, Pt, Pd etc ( Roy and Barik 2010 ) . Metallic elements are an ineluctable facet in nanotechnology since it has legion applications in electronics, cosmetics, coatings, packaging and biotechnology. Preparation of Ag nano atoms has attracted peculiarly considerable attending due to their diverse belongingss and utilizations like magnetic and optical polarizability, electrical usage due to the highest electrical and thermic conduction among metals, contact action, surface-enhanced Raman dispersing.Some of the methods of nano atom synthesis are really easy to execute but the general stableness of the merchandise is sometimes compromised. Furthermore it is energy inefficient and needs more capital support for the research intents ( Klauset Al2001 ) .To overcome these defects, biogenesis or green synthesis of nano atoms have been employed.It is more or less low-cost procedure.Besides this it is environmental friendly and biocompatible ( Govindraju et al 2010 ) . For the biogenesis of nanoparticles, both workss and bugs ( bacteriums and Fungis largely ) can be used. In bacteriums and Fungis, the development of nano atoms take topographic point intracellularly ( Mandal et al 2006 ) . In the instance of workss their infusions are used for the production of nano atoms. The works resources in the Marine environment are least used in research methods for synthesising nano atoms. The algae particularly are a rich beginning of economically of import constituents and hence their current public-service corporation can be improved by implementing nanotechnology methods.
Algae constitutes a big category of the marine ecosystem. They are classified fundamentally into 3 based on the pigments in them. They are rhodophyta, Chlorophyta and Phaeophyta. Rhodophyta or ruddy algae are largely marine with really few exclusions. ( Eloranta and Kwandrans, 2004 ) . Rhodophyta is characterized by the presence of phycoerythrin and phycocyanin along with floridean amylum C ( Elaronta and Kwandrans,2004 ) . They are used as gelling agents every bit good as stabilising agents ( Roeck-Holtzhauer,1991 ) in nutrient stuffs.They possess proteins that can function as neutraceuticals ( Monika,2011 ) .They are found to possess big figure of secondzry metabolites that possess pharmaceutical ( PrashantKumar,2006 ) and industrial significance ( Cannell,2006 ; Fernandez et.al,1989 ) .Some species of ruddy algae like,Gracilariaalgae are found to hold antioxidant belongingss ( Kang et.al,2005 ) .Apart from that they besides possess anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer belongingss ( Jinet.al,2013 ).Owing to these high value belongingss, ruddy algae can be used to bring forth nanoparticles.But the research on the production of nanoparticle from rhotophyta has someway been less.
In the present survey, the word picture of ruddy algae is perfomed by agencies of UV spectrometry, FTIR, XRD, optical microscope and NMR.This is done to analyze the physical and chemical belongingss so that in future they can be used to develop much better merchandises that are utile to worlds with extra benefits of being ecofriendly.

Materials and methods
Collection of Red algae
The ruddy algae (Portieria hornemanni) was collected from the gulf of mannar during Feb 2014 by snorkelling. The algal samples were brought to the research lab in polyethylene bags. The samples were washed exhaustively utilizing running tap H2O to take the sea salt, air plants and other drosss. The Cleaned algae were shade dried at room temperature and powdered utilizing an electrical liquidizer.
Preparation of the Red algae infusion
The powdery algae were used for the readying of the infusion. One gm of algal pulverization was weighed, added in 50 milliliter of deionized H2O and boiled in a H2O bath for 5 min in 80a?°C.
The infusions were cooled in room temperature and filtered utilizing Whatman filter paper. These infusions were used as both cut downing and stabilising agents. [ 1 ]
Synthesis of eco-friendly Ag nanoparticles
Silver nitrate solution ( 45ml ) was prepared with 1mM concentration and 5 milliliter of algal infusion was added to it drop by bead with continous stirring at room temperature. During this procedure the coloring material of the solution appears to be pale pink. With incubation of 24-48 hours the coloring material alterations to dark brown stand foring the formation of nanoparticles.
Word picture
UV-visible spectrometry is one of the most normally used methods to observe the nanoparticle formation and its properties.The spectrum surface plasmon resonance of nanoparticles is influenced by assorted factors of the same which includes size, form, free negatron denseness, the medium in which it is present besides the interaction between the atoms ( Ruchaet.al).Whether the formation of AgNPs have occurred or non was analysed wih the aid of UV-visible spectroscope.The reaction mixture assumed to incorporate nanoparticles was subjected to changing wavelengths runing from 400nm to 500nm and the extremum was studied to find the wavelengths at which nanoparticles got synthesized.
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy or FTIR plays an of import function in analyzing the surface absorbants present in nanoparticles.Since the nanoparticles are characterized by the presence of big surface country, adsorbates can act upon in the coevals of new belongingss and therefore extra extremums when compared to the bare nanoparticle.Hence FTIR can be used to analyze the new belongingss associated with the presence of adsorbable particles.Resolutions of all the atoms are measured here all the clip ( Peter and James,2007 ) .For FTIR, the powdery signifier of the ruddy algae sample was used and the little sum of it was studied with the aid of FTIR spectrophotometer ( ALPHA T, Brucker ) .The declaration was studied at… .. with the aid of… .at room temperature incorporating… . sum of sample at wavenumber of… … .
