The synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) has been conducted on the biopolymer media which is sodium alginate (Na-Alg) via the green method. Different times of ultrasound irradiation was used to reduce Ag+ to be Ag seed (Ag0) and produce Ag-NPs. The Ag-NPs was analyzed in their surface plasmon resonance (SPR), morphology, biomolecule responsible, and stability via UV-Vis, TEM, FTIR and Zeta potential, respectively. The application as antibacterial properties was studied against bacteria. Furthermore, this Ag-NPs could be synthesized using the green method and used as antibacterial efficacy for medical vehicles, would dressing, and so on.
