Aggregation state of silver nanoparticles dispersed in an aqueous solution greatly varies with storage and treatment conditions. In this study, silver nanoparticles synthesized in chitosan solution by a chemical reduction method were hydrothermally treated at different temperatures. The variation in the aggregation state of silver nanoparticles in the solution was observed by UV-Vis spectroscopy and field emission transmission electron microscopy. Results indicated that a phase transition occurred while silver nanoparticles were hydrothermally treated for 5 h at 100 and 120∘C; however, they aggregated and completely precipitated at 150∘C. Mesoporous silver powder obtained by hydrothermal treatment at 150∘C was characterized by using X-ray diffraction technique, BET analyzer, and scanning electron spectroscope.

Graphene is an excellent platform to support and stabilize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The reduced graphene oxide-silver nanoparticles (rGO-AgNPs) were synthesized by the chemical reduction method and characterized by using ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and scanning probe microscopy (SPM). The binding reaction of rGO-AgNPs with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated by using fluorescence spectrometry and SPM. As the concentration of AgNPs increased, the fluorescence spectrum was quenched, and the quenching process of rGO-AgNPs and BSA was static quenching. Thermodynamic parameters of the absorption process were evaluated at different temperatures, and the negative values of Gibbs free energy (ΔG) showed that this process was spontaneous. The main type of interaction was hydrophobic interaction according to the values of changes in standard enthalpy (ΔH) and entropy (ΔS). In addition, the morphology changes of proteins interacting with nanomaterials were detected by SPM.

AbstractThis paper discusses the experimental results of the production of nanocolloidal silver using photoreduction method. Ultrafine crystalline gelatine-stabilised aqueous suspensions of silver bromide were used as a substrate for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). The influences of the reductant to substrate molar ratio, the medium’s pH, the type of the source of actinic radiation and the time of exposure to the efficient production of the Ag NPs were studied. A typical reaction was suggested, which involves the photo-induced reduction of silver bromide nanocrystals in the presence of ascorbic acid under specified physicochemical conditions. The properties of resultant silver particles were examined using UV-Vis spectroscopy and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). In addition, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) was used for imaging the silver nanoparticle suspensions.

Silver Nanocolloid

Linked to Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) phenomena, optical and thermo-optical properties of metal-dielectric nanocomposite materials including noble metal nanoparticles dispersed in a dielectric host medium are worthily interested. Indeed these materials have been proposed for many applications such as photonics devices, bio sensors and even photo-thermal therapy. Colloidal silver nanoparticles were synthesized by reduction of silver nitrate using of ascorbic acid and citrate as stabilizer agent in a 30°C water bath. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) micrograph image shows formation of spheroidal silver nanoparticles with an average of large and small diameters about 43 and 34 nm respectively. Extinction spectrum, measured using UV-Vis spectroscopy, represented two peaks located around 420 and 620 nm of wavelength. These peaks are attributed to SPR phenomena and confirm spheroidal and spherical silver nanoparticle formation in solution. Thermo-optical properties of synthesized silver nanocolloids are then evaluated by measuring of extinction spectrum at different temperatures. Results showed an enhancement in thermo-optical properties of silver nanocolloids around the SPR wavelengths. Theoretical analysis, done using Mie and Mie-Gans theories, showed that the different peaks observed in extinction spectrum are related directly to shape effect.

Origanum Majorana

In this work, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were synthesized using a chemical reduction approach and a pulsed laser fragmentation in liquid (PLFL) technique, simultaneously. A laser wavelength of 532 nm was focused on the as produced Ag NPs, suspended in an Origanum majorana extract solution, with the aim of controlling their size. The effect of liquid medium concentration and irradiation time on the properties of the fabricated NPs was studied. While the X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern confirmed the existence of Ag NPs, the UV–Vis spectrophotometry showed a significant absorption peak at about 420 nm, which is attributed to the characteristic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak of the obtained Ag NPs. By increasing the irradiation time and the Origanum majora extract concentration, the SPR peak shifted toward a shorter wavelength. This shift indicates a reduction in the NPs’ size. The effect of PLFL on size reduction was clearly revealed from the transmission electron microscopy images. The PLFL technique, depending on experimental parameters, reduced the size of the obtained Ag NPs to less than 10 nm. The mean zeta potential of the fabricated Ag NPs was found to be greater than −30 mV, signifying their stability. The Ag NPs were also found to effectively inhibit bacterial activity. The PLFL technique has proved to be a powerful method for controlling the size of NPs when it is simultaneously associated with a chemical reduction process.

Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were synthesized using Juglans regia (J. regia) leaf extract, as both reducing and stabilizing agents through microwave irradiation method. The effects of a 1% (w/v) amount of leaf extract (0.1–0.9 mL) and an amount of 1 mM AgNO3 solution (15–25 mL) on the broad emission peak (λmax) and concentration of the synthesized Ag NPs solution were investigated using response surface methodology (RSM). Fourier transform infrared analysis indicated the main functional groups existing in the J. regia leaf extract. Dynamic light scattering, UV-Vis spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the synthesized Ag NPs. Fabricated Ag NPs with the mean particle size and polydispersity index and maximum concentration and zeta potential of 168 nm, 0.419, 135.16 ppm and −15.6 mV, respectively, were obtained using 0.1 mL of J. regia leaf extract and 15 mL of AgNO3. The antibacterial activity of the fabricated Ag NPs was assessed against both Gram negative (Escherichia coli) and positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria and was found to possess high bactericidal effects.

Silver nanoparticles were deposited on glass slides and surgical suture as antibacterial agent. The silver nanoparticles were prepared by chemical reduction with sodium borohydride and using a synthetic polyelectrolyte as capping agent. Poly (4-styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic acid) sodium salt PSSMA was used to stabilize the silver nanoparticles and provide an anionic surface charge which then allowed the layer-by-layer deposition method with poly (dially dimethyl ammonium chloride) PDADMAC. Various concentration of capping agent were used to prepare the silver nanoparticles which were then deposited on glass slide and surgical suture. The layer-by-layer deposition of the nanoparticles was studied using UV-Vis spectroscopy by monitoring the intensity of the characteristic Plasmon band of the nanoparticles at 400nm. The leaching of the silver nanoparticles in buffered solutions of pH 3,7 and 9 was monitored by recording the decrease in absorbance of silver nanoparticles film as a function of time for each pH solutions and each capping concentrations. Finally, suture material coated with silver nanoparticles were tested for their antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and results showed that all coated sutures had more than 99% bacterial reduction. So these suture material could be applied to use in medical products for promoted wound healing and decreased bacterial colony leading to relieve inflammation of patient.
