Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) had been synthesized with various molarities and weights of reducing agent, monosodium glutamate (MSG), and stabilizer chitosan, respectively. The significance of chitosan as stabilizer was distinguished through transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images and UV-Vis absorption spectra in which the interparticles distance increases whilst retaining the surface plasmo...

Room temperature dielectric and antibacterial behavior of thiosemicarbazide capped low dimension Silver and Gold nanoparticles were studied. The effect of size on the properties, by capping silver (Ag) and gold (Au) nanoparticles by thiosemicarbazide (TSC) was investigated. The nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical reduction method. The structural formation, surface morphology, phase stabi...

The nanoparticles used in this study were prepared from AgNO3 using NaBH4 in the presence of capping agents such as citrate, sodium dodecyl sulfate, and polyvinylpyrrolidone. The formed nanoparticles were characterized with UV-Vis, TEM, and XRD. The generation of silver nanoparticles was confirmed from the appearance of yellow colour and an absorption maximum between 399 and 404 nm. The produce...

Chitosan–silver (CS–Ag) nanocomposite materials were synthesized by a simple chemical method. The synthesized CS–Ag nanocomposite contains 20 wt% silver. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical reduction method as well. The CS–Ag nanocomposite was characterized using Field emission scanning electronic microscope (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectrosc...

The morphology and anti bacterial activity of capped Silver Nanoparticles of 5-Methyl 2-mercapto benzimidazole prepared via chemical reduction is studied. Spherical shaped capped Ag-NPs with size of 40nm are obtained by treatment of aqueous silver ions with ethanolic solution of 5-Methyl 2-mercapto benzimidazole as capping agent .The synthesized nanoparticles are characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD,...

Silver nanoparticles were prepared by microwave irradiation of silver nitrate solution with carboxymethyl chitosan as reducing agent and a stabilizer. The optical properties, morphology and structure were characterized using UV–Visible spectrophotometer, transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Appearance of surface plasmon band at 413 nm indicated the formation of si...

Nanometer-sized silver particles were synthesized by using didecylamine dithiocarbamates as the protecting ligands. With control of the initial ligand-metal feed ratios, the core diameter of the resulting particles was found to vary from about 5 to 2.5 nm, as determined by transmission electron microscopic measurements. The core size dispersity was also found to decrease with increasing feed ra...

background and objectives: mortality is highly variable within population of cultured fish due to virulent bacteria causing fish septicemia. the use of nano-silver marine fungal chitosan as antibiotic synergisers could be an alternative in the treatment of sepsis fish pathogens. materials and methods: different bulk chitosan solutions were prepared from the mycelia of four marine fungi ( asperg...

We report a facile route for the green synthesis of trimethyl chitosan nitrate-capped silver nanoparticles (TMCN-AgNPs) with positive surface charge. In this synthesis, silver nitrate, glucose, and trimethyl chitosan nitrate (TMCN) were used as silver precursor, reducing agent, and stabilizer, respectively. The reaction was carried out in a stirred basic aqueous medium at room temperature witho...
