Carey Lea silver hydrosol is a rare example of very concentrated colloidal solutions produced with citrate as only protective ligands, and prospective for a wide range of applications, whose properties have been insufficiently studied up to now. Herein, the reactivity of the immobilized silver nanoparticles toward oxidation, sulfidation, and sintering upon their interaction with hydrogen peroxide, sulfide ions, and chlorocomplexes of Au(III), Pd(II), and Pt(IV) was investigated using SEM and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The reactions decreased the number of carboxylic groups of the citrate-derived capping and promoted coalescence of 7 nm Ag NPs into about 40 nm ones, excluding the interaction with hydrogen peroxide. The increased nanoparticles form loose submicrometer aggregates in the case of sulfide treatment, raspberry-like micrometer porous particles in the media containing Pd(II) chloride, and densely sintered particles in the reaction with inert H2PtCl6 complexes, probably via the formation of surface Ag-Pt alloys. The exposure of Ag NPs to HAuCl4 solution produced compact Ag films along with nanocrystals of Au metal and minor Ag and AgCl. The results are promising for chemical ambient temperature sintering and rendering silver-based nanomaterials, for example, for flexible electronics, catalysis, and other applications.

Researchers are currently looking for materials that are stable, functional, aesthetic, and biocompatible without infections. Therefore, there is a great interest in obtaining a material that has a balance between aesthetic, biological, mechanical, and functional factors, which can be used as an infection control material. The addition of hydroxyapatite to alumina make highly bioactive scaffolds with mechanical strength. Biomedical applications require antibacterial properties; therefore, this idea leads to great interest in the development of new synthetic routes of ceramic biomaterials that allow the release of nanoparticles or metal ions. This investigation presents the obtention of alumina-hydroxyapatite spheres doped with silver nanoparticles with antibacterial effect against various Gram-positive and negative bacteria related to drug-resistance infections. The microstructural and spectroscopic studies demonstrate that the spheres exhibit a homogeneous structure and crystal hydroxyapatite and silver nanoparticles are observed on the surface. The antimicrobial susceptibility was verified with the agar diffusion and turbidimetry methods in Gram-negative ( Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Gram-positive ( Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) bacteria. All bacteria used were susceptible to the alumina-hydroxyapatite-silver spheres even at lower silver concentration. The composites have a higher possibility for medical applications focused on the control of drug-resistance microorganisms.

Abstract Green and low-cost synthesis strategy for ultrasonic preparation of polymer blend matrix based silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) and the development of rapid and high sensitive detection route have a great attention in biomedical applications. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the hydrogen peroxide detection performance of Konjac gum (KG)/PEG-Ag NPs. The KG/PEG-Ag NPs was synthesized via an ultrasonic process and characterized by different techniques such as ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis), Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Furthermore, we determined the experimental optimization on the effect of the rheological parameters of nanostructure with the highest correlation constant (R 2 : 0.989-0.996), and the intrinsic viscosity (14.71-26.77 dl/g). To provide the miscible polymer blends and homogeneous dispersion of the nanostructure, we compared the rheological parameters with the experimental results. The response time was less than 5 s and the lower limit of detection was 0.071 μM. This novel highly sensitive, rapid, and naked-eye colorimetric biosensor based Ag NPs which are prepared ultrasonic manufacturing approach, opens up a green approach of development facile and rapid detection of hydrogen peroxide in practical biomedical applications.

A new method for the simple synthesis of stable heterostructured biopolymer (sodium alginate)-capped silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) based on green chemistry is reported. The as-prepared nanoparticles were characterized using the ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) techniques. The results showed that the as-prepared Ag-NPs have a heterostructured morphology with particle size in the range 30 ± 18–60 ± 25 nm, showing a zeta potential of −62 mV. The silver nanoparticle formation was confirmed from UV-Vis spectra showing 424 nm as maximum absorption. The particle size and crystallinity of the as-synthesized nanoparticles were analyzed using TEM and XRD measurements, respectively. FTIR spectra confirmed the presence of alginate as capping agent to stabilize the nanoparticles. The Ag-NPs also showed excellent sensing capability, with a linear response to hydrogen peroxide spanning a wide range of concentrations from 10−1 to 10−7 M, which indicates their high potential for water treatment applications, such as pollution detection and nanofiltration composites.

Significant Attention

With advances in the development of nanotechnology and increases in the production and practical application of artificial nanoparticles (NPs) and nanomaterials (NMs), health effects of these products are increasingly of interest. Among the most prominent NMs, one variant that has garnered significant attention is silver nanoparticles. Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) are small metallic colloidal particles that are widely used in the engineering, manufacturing, and biomedicine sectors. Today there are many consumer products that contain various silver nanoparticles, particularly for their anti-microbial properties, yet its impact on health has not adequately been evaluated. Early studies show silver nanoparticles contribute to neurotoxic and neurodegenerative effects in vivo. This paper evaluates not only the benefits of silver nanoparticles but the adverse consequences that humans and other organisms may face during extended interaction with silver nanomaterials. Given the particles cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), specific attention has been placed on the neurological effects of silver nanoparticles. Given the urgency for more information and scientific evaluation on the increasing use of silver nanoparticles, there is still a need for more efficient experimentation methods in the testing of silver nanoparticle toxicity and brain and behavioral effects.

AbstractIn this era, we must synthesize safe pesticides from inexpensive sources to avoid the diseases caused by most of the previously used pesticides. Therefore, nanotechnology was used to produce biologically synthesis pesticides from very cheap sources such as seaweed, especially green algae, as it is safe to synthesize a pesticide against various pests such as bacteria and fungi that affect various agricultural crops. Ulva lactuca is used for the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles by a bottom-up bioreduction reaction of silver nitrate to silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) observed by the formation of brown color. The biosynthesis reaction has been proven by using UV-VIS, FT-IR, EDAX, SEM, TEM, and DSC-TGA and has been tested against a wide range of bacteria and fungi that affect plants, poultry, fish, rabbits, animals, and humans. Antioxidant activity was also determined. Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) have proven to be good and safe synthetic pesticides. The results of the spectroscopy demonstrated the success of the biological synthesis of the pesticide. Also, the results of the antimicrobial activity demonstrated the success of the pesticide that was biologically synthesized to fight bacteria and fungi that cause different diseases of different agricultural crops and should be used as a safe synthetic pesticide.
