In the present work, the chemical reduction method has been used to synthesize silver nanoparticles using stearic acid capping agents in different concentrations. These nanoparticles are characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The size of the synthesized silver nanoparticles found between 80-100 nm and stable up to 5 months. These nanoparticles show a very good bactericidal influence on E. coli and S. aureus. In this method silver nanoparticles have synthesized at room temperature without using any inert atmosphere, this is the advantage of this method over others.

Nanotechnology has great promise for improving the therapeutic potential of medicinal molecules and related agents. In this study, silver nanoparticles of different sizes were synthesized in an ultrasonic field using the chemical reduction method with sodium borohydride as a reducing agent. The size effect of silver nanoparticles on antimicrobial activity were tested against the microorganisms Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC No. 96), Bacillus subtilis (MTCC No. 441), Streptococcus mutans (MTCC No. 497), Escherichia coli (MTCC No. 739) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MTCC No. 1934). The results shows that B. subtilis, and E. coli were more sensitive to silver nanoparticles and its size, indicating the superior antimicrobial efficacy of silver nanoparticles.

Abstract In this study, silver nanoparticles with an average diameter of 50-70 nm were synthesized by the chemical reduction method. Subsequently, nanoparticles in different concentrations were introduced into the YAG: Ce luminescent powder synthesized by the method of two-stage coprecipitation into hexamine. The luminescence of samples with different contents of nanosilver was investigated. It was shown that the direct addition of nanosilver to YAG: Ce significantly impairs luminescence. Upon calcination at 900 °C, an increase in the luminescence of the YAG: Ce samples with silver nanoparticles was observed; however, the luminescence intensity was lower than that of the reference sample (without nanosilver). After calcination in an inert atmosphere at a temperature of 1550 °C, a significant increase in the luminescence intensity (of the order of 30-40 %) of the samples with the addition of a nanosilver was observed in comparison with the reference sample. Thus, silver nanoparticles can be successfully used to improve the YAG: Ce phosphors.

A simple method was achieved to develop a coating of silver nanoparticles on paper using ultrasonic radiation. Silver nanoparticles were prepared by the chemical reduction method using triethylene glycol as a reducing agent. UV-Vis spectrometry was used to characterize the synthesized silver nanoparticles in solution. The coated papers were characterized the surface features by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrum (EDS). The particle size distribution was 78 – 311 nm in diameter depending on ultrasonication time. The coated papers revealed the most effective in the antibacterial activity against both Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923Tand Escherichia coli ATCC 25922T.

El uso de compuestos químicos más biocompatibles y renovables para la obtención de nanopartículas metálicas con propiedades y características deseadas, se convierte en una ruta alternativa para la reducción de riesgos ambientales y del grado de incompatibilidad de estas estructuras al interactuar con modelos biológicos para su posible aplicación en el área de la salud. El propósito de este trabajo se centró en el uso de sacarosa, como agente reductor de nanopartículas de oro y plata al emplear diferentes volúmenes de hidróxido de sodio. Las nanopartículas obtenidas fueron caracterizadas mediante espectrometría UV-visible, microscopía electrónica de transmisión TEM y espectroscopia infrarroja por transformada de Fourier FTIR, la cual permitió determinar los plasmones de resonancia superficial, tamaños de partícula experimentales y teóricos, morfología y cambios estructurales en el agente reductor, así como la influencia del hidróxido de sodio en el proceso de síntesis. Los resultados obtenidos confirman la formación de nanopartículas de oro y plata mediante la previa formación de azúcares reductores. Así mismo, la oxidación del grupo funcional de la glucosa a sales de ácido carboxílico.

The nonlinear optical properties of the aqueous solutions of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) prepared by chemical reduction method are analyzed using femtosecond and picosecond pulses at different wavelengths. In the case of 800 and 400 nm, the growths of nonlinear absorption and nonlinear refraction with the increase of Ag NP concentration, as well as a change at the signs of nonlinear optical processes, are determined. The nonlinear absorption coefficient and nonlinear refractive index of Ag NP solutions measured using picosecond pulses were a few orders of magnitude larger than those in the case of femtosecond probe pulses. We also demonstrate the optical limiting properties of Ag NPs using 800 nm, 60 fs pulses.
