This study analyzed the growth and biochemical responses of six bacterial colonies isolated from the mucus of the estuarine polychaeta Laeonereis acuta (Nereididae) after exposure to a water suspension of fullerene (nC60) and nanosilver (nAg) separately (0.01; 0.10; and 1.00 mg/L) and together (0.01; 0.10; and 1.00 mg/L of nanosilver and 1.00 mg/L of fullerene added to each nAg concentration). ...

Silver salts and nanosilver (NS) are the common antimicrobial used in the treatment of chronic wounds, so they are important to assess their dermal toxicity. Therefore, in this study, the possible dermal toxicity of NS particles and silver nitrate (AgNO3), was tested by determining the serum level of transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) and study on of mouse skin tissue. In this stu...

In the present study, fabrication and characterization of compound composite nanofibers of Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) with nano silver and Polyamide 6 (PA6) are demonstrated. Compound composite fibers with core-shell structure were made using co-axial electrospinning method. The shell was made up of nano silver (Ag) impregnated PVA while PA6 was the core material. These compound composite nanofibe...

Nanosilver solutions of colloidal silver nanoparticles at reasonable price, good quality, and availability are increasingly demanded for the application in agriculture aquaculture prevention treatment diseases. In this paper, we have applied a new simple environmental-friendly fabrication method based on plasma electrochemical procedure, where directly formed environment from ions generated by ...

Silver nanoparticles are added to a variety of textiles and home goods as an antimicrobial. Although silver has been used safely for centuries, some question whether the rapid expansion of new exposure sources to nanosilver could have adverse consequences.

Effects of heat-transferring property of silver nanoparticles were evaluated on two solid woods of poplar and fir and in combination with Borax. Nanosilver and Borax were applied in pressure vessel using Rueping method. The size range of silver nanoparticles was 20-80 nm. Specimens of 150×130×9 mm were prepared and five fire-retarding properties were measured using a newly designed slide fire t...

COVID-19 virus has spread almost all over the world, including Indonesia until now. in people with diabetes mellitus have a risk of exacerbating symptoms. Diabetes is disease caused by high blood sugar levels. Nanogold very strong anti-oxidant capability, while nanosilver anti-bacterial properties. In this research, nanogold-nanosilver was presented form health drinking water packaged 1 L bottl...

Nanosilver of nanometer-sized silver (Ag+) particles (2-5 nm diam) are used in various applications as an anti-microbial. Boric acid (H3BO3) is water soluble (pH=7). Boric acid is ethylene synthese inhibitor and reduce ethylene production through reducing the ACC synthase and ACC oxidase delays senescence of flower. In this study of different concentrations of boric acid and nano-silver was eva...
