A hyperbranched polymer (HBP-NH2) acting as a reducing agent and stablizer agent has been synthesized to investigate the stability of silver nanoparticles antimicrobial agent, which were prepared in a hyperbranched polymer matrix by a reaction with silver nitrate solution. The antimicrobial agents generated were characterized by different spectroscopic and analytical techniques such as DLS, TEM and UV-vis, which confirm the formation of well-dispersed silver nanoparticles with average size around 12.0 nm. Furthermore, antimicrobial and mechanical properties of nanosilver treated cotton fabrics were investigated. The results showed that stable silver nanoparticles collide solution with 12 nm, applied on cotton fabric under certain condition, could produce ideal antibacterial rate over 94% against both Escherichia coli (E.coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) even after 50 consecutive washings.

Silver nanoparticles have attracted much interest from scientists to develop nanosilver-based disinfectant products due to their unique properties of high antimicrobial activity. This study focused on biosynthesis, characterization, antimicrobial and antibiofilm effects of silver nanoparticles against vegetative and starved Shigella strains. The silver nanoparticles were synthesized using the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica and characterized by ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of silver nanoparticles were tested against the growth of vegetative and starved Shigella strains. After the addition of silver nitrate solution to the supernatant of Y. lipolytica, we noticed the appearance of a brown-black coloration that suggested the formation of silver nanoparticles. The presence of silver nanoparticles was manifested by a maximum absorption in the ultraviolet–visible range, precisely at the wavelength 420[Formula: see text]nm. The crystalline nature and the stability of silver nanoparticles were confirmed, respectively, by XRD and FTIR analysis. The antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles showed significant toxicity on Shigella strains indicating that the starved cells were more sensitive to treatment with silver nanoparticles than vegetative cells. Surprisingly, the biofilm formation had not been inhibited by silver nanoparticles for both vegetative and starved cells. In conclusion, a new class of nanosilver containing disinfectant nanoproducts will be promising for advanced environmental treatments including air disinfection, water disinfection, surface disinfection and personal hygiene that will help to prevent the further outbreak of diseases.

The chief aim of the present work is to investigate the preparation for silver nanoparticles antimicrobial agent and its antibacterial activity on cotton fabric. In this study, antimicrobial agent was fabricated by a reaction between an amino-terminated hyperbranched polymer (HBP-NH2) and silver nitrate solution of certain concentration. Meanwhile, cotton fabric was oxygenated to afford aldehyde groups which could connect with the amino groups of the HBP-NH2 to provide cotton fabric with durable antimicrobial properties. The effects of different biocides made of various molecular structures of synthetic material (HBP-NH2) on antimicrobial properties of nano-silver colloid solution were discussed, and three different agents generated then were characterized in following aspects as silver nanoparticles size and distribution by using DLS, TEM and UV-vis. Furthermore, the fabric structure, mechanical properties and antimicrobial property of treated cotton fabric were also tested. Included in this part of experiment were transverse micro morphology of cotton fibre by SEM, fabric strength retention after finishing, silver nanoparticles molecular conformation on fabric and content analysis via ICP-AES. The results showed that stable silver nanoparticles collide solution with 20-30 nano, applied on oxidized cotton fabric under certain condition, could produce ideal antibacterial rate over 94% of bacterial reduction to both Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) and Escherichia coli (E.coli) after 50 consecutive washings.

In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were prepared by gamma rays irradiation of 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10 mM silver nitrate solution using chitosan as a stabilizer. UV spectra, morphology and size of AgNPs irradiated at different doses were characterized by using UV-vis spectrophotometer and TEM images. The obtained results indicated that the average size of AgNPs increased by the increase of silver concentration in irradiated solution or the degree of acetylation of chitosan, while the increase of chitosan concentration was found to be a functional key for reducing the average size of particles in AgNPs product. In vitro test, AgNPs inhibited the growth of Corynespora cassiicola. In particularly, the inhibitory efficiency of AgNPs on the growth of C. cassiicola on rubber leaf extract media increased from 52.1 to 100 % when the average particle size of particles in AgNPs product decreased from 15 to 5 nm at the concentration of 50 ppm. In addition, the increase of AgNPs concentration from 10 to 90 ppm also enhanced the antifungal activity to be from 6.3 to 100 %, respectively. It suggests that the silver nanoparticles/chitosan (AgNPs/chitosan) synthesized by γ-rays irradiation method is a very promising fungicidal product applying for treating C. cassiicola, a serious pathogen fungus on rubber trees.

 Activated carbon is greatly used to adsorb toxic heavy metals from water bodies. Simultaneous removal of such pollutants and pathogenic impurities is essential for safe drinking water. In this study, silver nanoparticles (NPs) doped activated carbon (AC) composite was fabricated via hydrothermal technique and green synthesis technique using commercial activated carbon powder and silver nitrate solution. Several analytical techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the formation of silver nanoparticles on the surface and pores of AC. The prepared composite materials were accessed for their anti-bacterial property using Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus and found that such materials have good antibacterial activity which shows that as fabricated composite can be used potentially for water treatment.

Abstract Objective Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) can be difficult or expensive to obtain or synthesize for laboratories in resource-limited facilities. The purpose of this work was to optimize a synthesis method for a fast, facile, and cost-effective synthesis of AgNPs with antimicrobial activity, which can be readily implemented in non-specialized facilities and laboratories. Results The optimized method uses a rather simple and rapid chemical reduction process that involves the addition of a polyvinylpyrrolidone solution to a warmed silver nitrate solution under constant vigorous stirring, immediately followed by the addition of sodium borohydride. The total synthesis time is less than 15 min. The obtained AgNPs exhibit an aspect ratio close to 1, with an average size of 6.18 ± 5 nm. AgNPs displayed potent antimicrobial activity, with Minimal Inhibitory Concentration values of ≤ 4 µg mL−1 for Staphylococcus aureus and ≤ 2 µg mL−1 for Candida albicans. The resulting method is robust and highly reproducible, as demonstrated by the characterization of AgNPs from different rounds of syntheses and their antimicrobial activity.

In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were successfully synthesized using p-aminosalicylic acid as a reducing and stabilizing agent simultaneously. The AgNPs was synthesized by mixing silver nitrate solution as a precursor with the pH adjusted by p-aminosalicylic acid solution and heating it in a boiling water bath. The formed AgNPs were analyzed using UV-Vis spectrophotometry to evaluate their SPR absorbance in the wavelength range of 400-500 nm. The optimum reaction time is 10 min and the optimum pH is 11. The AgNPs with the optimum synthesis condition have average size of 32.3 nm when characterized using PSA, spherical morphology when characterized using TEM, and face-centered cubic crystal when chara­cterized using XRD. The formed AgNPs had good stability for more than 2 months. The mechanism of silver ion reduction and AgNPs stabilization by p-aminosalicylic acid were also proposed in the paper based on the FTIR analysis result.

In present study, the Geranium wallichianum leaf extract (aqueous) and 1 mM silver nitrate solution (aqueous) were amalgamated to synthesize silver particles within the nanometer range. Initial colour changes and surface-plasmon-resonance (SPR) absorbance band observed in UV-visible spectroscopic study gave support to configuration of silver nano-particles. Silver nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, TEM and FTIR spectroscopy. Then antimicrobial (antibacterial and antifungal) activities of silver nanoparticles against selected microbial strains were studied by well diffusion method. During this work, silver SPR absorption bands between 405-425 nm range were shown by Geranium wallichianum leaf extract mediated synthesized silver nanoparticles sample solutions at different intervals. X-ray diffraction pattern displayed the formation of face centred cubic phase silver nano-structures. TEM measurements confirmed that silver nanoparticles are spherically shaped and maximum particles in 9-16 nm size range having average diameter 12.5 nm. Important FT-IR peaks at 3314.11, 1710.60, 1587.11 and 1347.77 cm-1 were predicted for hydroxyl, carbonyls, unsaturated C-C bonds and phenolic groups respectively. Further from antimicrobial results, it has been found that values of diameter of zone of inhibition (mm) of synthesized silver nanoparticles against B. subtilis, S. aureus, L. plantarum, P. aeruginosa, A. niger and C. albicans strains were 32, 28, 25, 25 35 and not active, respectively. MIC-MLC (μL) values were also determined. At last, it can be concluded that antimicrobial agents of 9-16 nm size range and stabilized by polyhydroxy-bioactive-components present in extract, in the form of silver nanoparticles has been productively synthesized.

Biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticles synthesized from Hymenocallis species (Spider Lilly) leaf extract was subjected for investigation of its antimicrobial property against four bacterial species (E. coli, Salmonella sp., Streptococcus sp. & Staphylococcus sp.). The results revealed that synthesized nanoparticles solution very much justify the color change property from initial light yellow to final reddish brown during the synthesis producing a characteristics absorption peak in the range of 434-466 nm. As antimicrobial agents, their efficacy was evaluated by analysis of variance in between the species and among the different concentration of AgNPs solution, which clearly showed that there was significant variation in the antibiotic property between the four different concentrations of AgNPs solution and also among four different species of bacteria taken under studies. However, silver nanoparticles solution of 1: 9 and 1:4 were proved comparatively more efficient as antimicrobial agents against four species of bacteria.

AbstractGreen synthesis of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) is acquiring considerable attention due to its environmental and economic superiorities over other methods. This study describes the practical synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) through the reduction of silver nitrate solution using an algal source, Chlorella vulgaris, as the reducing as well as the stabilizing agent. The energy required for this synthesis was supplied by microwave radiation. The ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy exhibited a single peak related to the surface plasmon absorbance of AgNPs at 431 nm. The AgNPs with high stability (a zeta potential of −17 mV), hydrodynamic size distribution of 1–50 nm, and mostly spherical shape were obtained through a 10 min process. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis revealed that several functional groups, including carbonyl groups of C. vulgaris, play a significant role in the formation of functional NPs. Antibacterial features of the produced AgNPs were verified against those of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus, demonstrating a considerable growth inhibition at increasing concentrations of the NPs. As a result, the formed AgNPs can be used as a promising agent against bacterial diseases.
