Abstract :Silver nanoparticles insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AgNPs); were synthesized using extract of fig insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Ficus carica); leaf and AgNO3 solution by microwave method in this study. Freshly leaves of fig insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Ficus carica); were collected from the Eastern Black Sea region insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Akçaabat-TRABZON); in Turkey and then dried. 25 g of dried sample was shaken in 500 mL of distilled water- citric acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.1 M); mixture insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1:1); for 120 min at room temperature and extracted in a laboratoary microwave device at 5 minutes, 600 W and left cooling. Various volume of leaf extract insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.5,1,2,3 mL); was added AgNO3 solution insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1 mM-3 mM); and the mixture was exposed to a household microwave at 180W for 1–60 min for the biosynthesis of AgNPs. Silver nanoparticles were characterized using UV-visible absorption spectroscopy . The synthesis of AgNPs was observed by its colour changing from light yellow to dark brown and the characteristic plasmon resonance peak of silver nanoparticles was observed at around 400-500 nm .
