In this study, novel PEGylated maca root extract-silver nanoparticles (PEGylated Mac-Ag NPs) were prepared using a green sonochemical method. The 316L stainless steel (SS316L) was coated with the prepared PEGylated Mac-Ag NPs using a low-cost and easy-to-use airbrush spray technique. The prepared PEGylated Mac-Ag NPs and coated SS316L with PEGylated Mac-Ag NPs were characterized to determine the surface morphology, crystal structure, and chemical functional groups using different methods such as scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photospectrometry, surface roughness, and profilometry. According to the surface characterization results, it was clear that the sono-synthesized PEGylated Mac-Ag NPs had a spherical-agglomerated aggregate structure in the particle range of 30 to 50 nm. Furthermore, the surface of the coated 316L stainless steel had a uniform particle distribution with spherical and particle diameters of less than 50 nm. Consequently, it was observed that surface of the SS316L was covered with nano-sized PEGylated Mac-Ag NPs using a green chemistry approach. The proposed synthesis and coating process were promise to use a simple and green process to fabricate advanced nanomaterials in biomedical applications.
