This paper continues our previous work on preparation of triangular silver nanoparticles. The method proceeds with reaction of silver nitrate with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of polyvinyl pyrrolidone in aqueous solution. Effects of the concentration of PVP on the morphologies of Ag NPs were systematically investigated. The obtained Ag NPs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and UV-visible spectrophotometer. The results showed that, triangular Ag NPs with edge lengths in the range of 50-200 nm were obtained using PVP as protective agent with lower concentration. As the concentration of PVP increased, spherical Ag NPs with their sizes about 6.2 nm were prepared and triangular Ag NPs were not obtained. The formation mechanism of triangular Ag NPs has been studied. Ostwald ripening is the driving force on the conversion of spherical Ag NPs to triangular Ag NPs in the presence of PVP.

Abstract Silver nanoparticles have antimicrobial properties since they can be regarded as an efficient protector against pathogenic microorganisms. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to examine conformational changes in the secondary structure of wheat gluten washed out from grain treated with an aqueous solution of silver nanoparticles stabilized by tri-sodium citrate. Silver nanoparticles were used as a protective layer on the grain surface against bacterial and fungal infections (antimicrobial agent). Analysis of the amide I band revealed significant changes in the secondary structure after using silver nanoparticles. An increase in the β-sheet content (from 36.2 to 39.2%) was observed at the expense of the α-helix and β-turn content. To find factors causing these changes, the wheat grains were treated by an aqueous solution of trisodium citrate and water. The results obtained indicate that the changes in the gluten structure were connected mainly with the trisodium citrate action due to presence of a small number of free molecules of the stabilizer in the solution of silver nanoparticles. Additionally, the conformational changes in gluten pointed out that gluten flexibility increased (decrease in the αH/βS ratio from 1.40 for the control sample to 1.26 for the silver nanoparticle-treated samples) as well as the solubility of gluten decreased (decrease in the β-turn content from 13.1 to 11.4%).
