Microbicidal potential of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) can be drastically improved by improving their solubility or wettability in the aqueous medium. In the present study, we report the synthesis of both green and chemical synthesis of Ag-NPs, and evaluate the effect of the dispersion qualities of as-prepared Ag-NPs from both methods on their antimicrobial activities. The green synthesis of A...

biogenic reduction of silver ion to base metal is quite rapid, readily conducted at room temperature and pressure, and easily scaled up. synthesis mediated by plant extracts is environmentally benign. the objective of this study was to synthesis of silver nanoparticles (ag-nps) using leaves aqueous extract of nasturtium officinale r. br. (no) and its antibacterial activity. x-ray diffraction (x...

A way to increase the photocurrent of top-cell is crucial for current-matched and highly-efficient GaInP/GaInAs/Ge triple-junction solar cells. Herein, we demonstrate that ellipsoidal silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) with better extinction performance and lower fabrication temperature can enhance the light harvest of GaInP/GaInAs/Ge solar cells compared with that of spherical Ag NPs. In this metho...

Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are one of the top five engineered nanoparticles that have been used in various products. Current methods for the measurement of Ag NPs are time consuming and expensive. Therefore, it is of critical importance to develop novel strategies to detect the presence of Ag NPs at low concentrations in different matrices. This study aimed at detecting and measuring Ag NPs ...

studies on biomedical applications of nanoparticles are growing with a rapid pace. in medicine, nanoparticles may be the solution for multi-drug-resistance which is still a major drawback in chemotherapy of cancer. in the present study, we investigated the potential cytotoxic effect of silver nanoparticles (ag nps) and silver ions (ag+) in both parent and tamoxifen-resistant t47d cells in prese...

We consider of the antimicrobial activity on the Ag nanoparticles(Ag NPs) aqueous solutions, which was prepared using a stabilizer, such as poly(N vinyl 2 pyrrolidone PVP , for Staphylococcus aureus) S aureus and Escherichia coli E coli by measuring the minimum inhibitory concentration MIC . Antimicrobial effect of Ag NPs for S aureus and E coli was investigated using disk diffusion method Also...

Novel antimicrobial nanocomposite incorporating halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) and silver (Ag) into zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles is prepared by integrating HNTs and decorating Ag nanoparticles. ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) with a size of about 100 and 8 nm, respectively, are dispersively anchored onto HNTs. The synergistic effects of ZnO NPs, Ag NPs, and HNTs led to ...

The objective of the study was to characterize silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) and their bioactivities in early tracheophytes (Pteridophyta). Aqueous leaf extract of a critically endangered fern, Pteris tripartita Sw., was used for one-step green synthesis of Ag-NPs. The biosynthesized Ag-NPs were characterized using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scann...
