In recent years, green copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) have been widely used in various applications such as pharmaceuticals, electronics, environmental applications, catalysts, gas sensors, superconductors, solar cells, and biomedical applications. The green synthesis of the metal-based nanoparticles, which are desired to be used in biomedical applications, from bio-based sources is more advantageous. In this study, PEGylated matcha extract-copper oxide nanoparticles (PEGylated Mat-CuO NPs) were synthesized using a sonochemical technique via a green chemistry approach. The green PEGylated Mat-CuO NPs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Xray photospectrometry, and Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy. According to the experimental results, PEGylated Mat-CuO NPs were successfully synthesized, and they had a spherical shape with a particle size ranging from 20 to 40 nm. Consequently, the prepared PEGylated Mat-CuO NPs are a promising nanocomposite using a low-cost and green way to obtain advanced nanomaterials as nanocarriers, nanoagents, and nanocoating materials in biomedical applications.
