The paper presents the results of copper electroless metallization of cellulose paper with the use of a polydopamine coating and silver catalyst. The polydopamine coating was deposited via a simple dip method using a dopamine hydrochloride solution in 10 mM TRIS-HCl buffer with a pH of 8.5. The research showed that as a result of this process, cellulose fibers were covered with a homogeneous layer of polydopamine. The unique properties of the polydopamine coating allowed the reduction of silver ions from silver nitrate solution and the deposition of silver atoms on the paper surface. Deposited silver served as a catalyst in the autocatalytic electroless copper-plating process. The copper layer covered the entire surface of the paper sheet after 5 min of metallization, favorably affecting the electrical properties of this material by lowering the surface resistivity. The deposited copper layer was further characterized by good adhesive strength and high susceptibility to deformation.

The current work elucidates the utilization of biowaste as a valuable reducing agent for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. In this study, the wastewater generated during the alkaline pretreatment of lignocellulosic wastes (APLW) was used as a bioreductant to reduce silver nitrate under room temperature. Synthesis of stable silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was achieved rapidly on addition of APLW into the silver nitrate solution (1[Formula: see text]mM). The morphological characterization of AgNPs was performed using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The micrograph clearly depicted the presence of spherical AgNPs. The presence of elemental silver along with biomoilties was determined using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX) analysis. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) study proved the crystalline form of stable AgNPs. The AgNPs exhibited excellent antibacterial performance against Gram negative organism. The immediate bioreduction of silver ions using APLW was well illustrated in the present study. Thus, APLW serve as an alternative source for reducing agents instead of utilizing valuable medicinal plants for nanoparticles synthesis.

Aqueous Leaf Extract

Nowadays plant mediated synthesis of nanoparticles has great interest and achievement due to its eco-benign and low time consuming properties. In this study silver nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by usingMorinda tinctorialeaf extract under different pH. The aqueous leaf extract was added to silver nitrate solution; the color of the reaction medium was changed from pale yellow to brown and that indicates reduction of silver ions to silver nanoparticles. Thus synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Dispersity and morphology was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM); crystalline nature and purity of synthesized silver nanoparticles were revealed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). FTIR spectrum was examined to identify the effective functional molecules responsible for the reduction and stabilization of silver nanoparticles synthesized by leaf extract. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized silver nanoparticles was examined by degradation of methylene blue under sunlight irradiation. Green synthesized silver nanoparticles were effectively degrading the dye nearly 95% at 72 h of exposure time.

The extent of the exchange between silver foils and silver ions in nitrate solution was compared with surface area measurements made by the Bowden-Rideal method. No quantitative correspondence between the two measurements was observed. During one hour the exchange with mechanically abraded surfaces affected about 30 apparent atomic layers of the metal, but this was reduced to about one-half this value when the surfaces were equilibrated for several days in inactive silver nitrate. Etched foils exchanged during one hour to a.depth of only about 2 apparent atomic layers and this was not affected by equilibration. Bowden-Rideal area measurements gave values of roughly 7 and 15 times the planar area for etched and abraded specimens respectively. These values were not altered by equilibration of the surfaces. Only about 50% of the acquired radioactivity was subsequently removable in inactive silver nitrate solution. Part of the measured radioactivity was present on the surface in adsorbed ionic form and was not removable by a simple water wash. The magnitude of this adsorbed activity was found to be measurable electrometrically.

Pros And Cons

The main goal of the study was to determine parameters for the production of the micro-sized silver powder applicable to the pastes that are in use in solar cell production and maintenance. In all experiments, silver nitrate solution and ascorbic acid were used, as a silver source and reducing agent, respectively. Polyvinylpyrrolidone and gelatine were used as dispersants. The dispersant in this system acts as a protective agent in a way that prevents agglomeration and aggregation processes. The influence of used agents was different, and one of the aims in the research was to determine the pros and cons of them. The optimal parameters of the synthesis were the solution temperature of 45 °C, pH=7, and concentrations of silver and ascorbic acid of 45 g/l and 30 g/l, respectively. Although PVP has proved to be a suitable protecting agent for the goals of the study, the best results were obtained with the use of gelatine as a dispersant in the concentration ratio against the silver ions of 2.5 wt. %.

The effect of different additives on the AgNPs formation process was explored in this study. AgNPs were synthesized in an aqueous solution of silver nitrate-containing surfactants by photoreduction of silver ions. The concentration dependency of AgNPs formation suggested that stability was induced by the equilibrium of AgNPs adsorbed by surfactants with higher carbon chain molecules such as SDS and AOT. These results open up a new window both for structural control and the development process. It also indicated that different additives had an impact on the morphology of NPs. The hydrocarbon chain influenced the growth process and demonstrated that <10 carbon chain surfactants such as SMS, SOS, did not constitute the CGC and had a minor effect on the mechanism of growth. However, the NPs formation begun at a lower limit indicated as CGC. It was observed only with hydrocarbon chains of > 10 carbon atoms such as AOT, SDS. Fluorescence results confirmed that after laser irradiation, hemi-micelle formation after the development of AgNPs.

The purpose of this research was to study antibacterial activity of selectively oxidized lyocell fibers with incorporated silver particles against gram (+) and gram (-) pathogens. Antibacterial properties were accomplished by incorporation of silver ions into modified lyocell fibers by chemisorption from aqueous silver nitrate solution. In order to improve sorption properties of lyocell fibers, the selective TEMPO-mediated oxidation, i.e. oxidation with sodium hypochlorite and catalytic amount of sodium bromide and 2,2´,6,6´-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxy radical (TEMPO), was applied. The influence of oxidation conditions оn the amount of sorbed silver, and thus on the degree of antibacterial activity was determined. It was found that the maximum amount of sorbed silver was 0.996 mmol/g cell. The antibacterial activity of the TEMPO-oxidized lyocell fibers with silver particles was confirmed in vitro against two strains: Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) and Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922). The silver-loaded TEMPO-oxidized lyocell fibers showed better antimicrobial activity against strain Staphylococcus aureus.

Nitrate Solutions

The exchange of silver ions between silver nitrate solutions and surfaces of metallic silver was studied, using radioactive silver (Ag110, 270 day half-life) as a tracer. Marked differences in behavior of surfaces prepared in different ways were observed. Crystalline (annealed and etched) surfaces exchanged rapidly to a depth of a few atomic layers, and about 80% of the acquired radioactivity was removed as quickly by exchange with inactive silver nitrate solution. Highly polished surfaces exchanged up to ten times as great an extent as the etched annealed surfaces, but required 40 hours' immersion to attain their maximum activity. The deactivation of polished surfaces by inactive solutions was inversely proportional to the period of immersion in active solution, with surfaces immersed for 17 hr. or more retaining all but 30% of their acquired activity. Abraded surfaces exchanged quickly and retained most of their activity, the extent of the exchange depending upon the ratio of “worked” to “unworked” material on the surface. Some evidence of comparatively rapid diffusion in the polish layers was obtained. The interior of cold-worked silver when exposed to the nitrate solution behaved similarly to abraded surfaces. Mechanisms for the behavior of these different types of surface are offered, and the data of other workers discussed.

ABSTRACTThe antibacterial properties are useful to restrain inflammatory response caused by bacterial infection after implantation. The composites of hydroxyapatite (HAp) and silver nano-dots, silver oxide or silver phosphate have been investigated; however there are still some disadvantage in sintering; 1) silver nano-dots grow large, and are not homogenously distributed, 2) silver nano-dots melt and remove, and 3) silver phosphate and silver oxide formed exhibit higher solubility than metal silver. In this study, the distribution of silver nano-dots in HAp microparticles sintered was controlled at grain boundary with a modified silver mirror reaction as a novel route. HAp microparticles adsorbed formaldehyde by a vapor deposition method were soaked in an ammoniacal silver nitrate solution and were then sintered. There was a single phase of HAp including metal silver at 6.4 wt% even after sintering. The silver nano-dots were homogeneously distributed inside the microparticles. The release profiles of silver ions in phosphate buffer saline were compared with a reference; the HAp microparticles were soaked into silver nitrate solution and were then sintered. The distribution of silver in the reference was not homogeneous and large silver microparticles were grown outside the particles at 6.3wt%. The elution amount of silver ions from the microparticles at 12 hours was one-eighteenth of that from the reference. These results suggest that the HAp microparticles including silver nano-dots at grain boundary will be suitable for a long-term antibacterial material.

Gluconic acid (GA) is a non-corrosive acid used in textile, food additives and pharmaceutical skin care products. Many synthetic approaches were proved costly to produce GA in bulk. Potato peel as domestic waste is rich in nutritional value as they could also be used as fertilizer for plantations. However, improper disposable of these waste could lead to serious environmental problems due to insufficient supply of oxygen leading to an anaerobic condition for the unwanted growth of harmful microorganisms. This bacterial pollution might lead to foul smell and contagious air pollution. An attempt was made by using this potato peel waste to produce GA chemically in normal experimental laboratory condition with high yields. In the process, it was also made to estimate the precious silver metal produced. In present study, potato peel was used to convert the starch in peel to GA and metal silver by oxidation using silver ions. Potato peel wastes were hydrolyzed in acidic medium, where the starch and cellulose in peel were converted into glucose. This glucose was converted into GA using ammonical solution of silver nitrate solution. GA was separated using water as a solvent. The yield of GA was quantified by physicochemical and spectrophotometric methods. The GA is quantified by titration and the yield was found as 68 ± 5% and the amount of silver metal powder was obtained 0.3±0.05 % per kilogram of potato peel waste. This process was simple, precise, accurate, environmental friendly, economical and meet the sustained development goals (SDG).

Silver particles were synthesized by reducing silver ions with copper metal. The as-synthesized silver particles were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The effects of synthesis conditions on particle morphology were studied. The results showed that dendritic structures were readily synthesized when the silver nitrate solution kept stationary. The low concentration of silver ion was benefit to get perfect silver dendrite. The use of ammonium made the silver shape transferring from dendritic to spherical. The ultrasonic wave accelerated the diffusion of mass and produced spherical silver particles. These results indicated that dendritic silver particles were easy to obtain in non-equilibrium condition while the shape of silver rod-like or spherical was easy to get in equilibrium condition. The morphology and the size of silver particles depend on the synthesis conditions. The formation mechanism of dendritic silver particles were also deduced.
