Copper Acetate(WSDTY) is a p-type semiconductor. Further it can be used as an antimicrobial, anti-biotic and antifungal agent when incorporated in coatings, plastics textiles etc. Copper and copper-based compounds are efficient biocidal properties, which are generally used in pesticidal formulations and several health related applications. Different methods available to prepare CuO Nanoparticles the stability and the use of toxic chemicals are subjects of paramount concern.

Hibiscus rosa-sinesis (commonly called shoe flower, in tamil Semparuthi Poo) is wealthy in polyphenolic phytochemicals similar to tannins and phenolic proteins, triterpenoids, 2, 3-hexanediol, n- Hexadecanoic acid, 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid and squalene. These compounds have excellent antimicrobial, anti-oxidative and anti-proliferative activity and therefore be used to treat cancer, especially lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, asthma and pulmonary role. In adding together, the phytochemicals are believed to act as capping agent to stabilize the synthesized Copper nanoparticles and to prevent its coalescence. Such nanoparticles may have the advantage of offering synergistic biomedical effects. For example, antibiotic-coated nanoparticles exhibited a synergistic antimicrobial effect. Hence it can be hypothesized that Hibiscus flower extract may result in phytochemicals stabilized nanoparticles with better bio medical activity.
