Herein we report the development of anisotropic bimetallic nanoparticles where aerosol gold nanoparticles served as the seeds for the continuous deposition of silver atoms on their surfaces. Initially, aerosol gold nanoparticles were formed by spark discharge and then injected into a silver precursor solution in an impinging device. The gold nanoparticles acted as the seed particles, and cataly...

Chemicals typically available in plants have the capability to reduce silver and gold salts and to create silver and gold nanoparticles. We report the preparation of silver nanoparticles with sizes between 10 and 300 nm from silver nitrate using fruit extract collected from pineapples and oranges as reducing agents. The evolvement of a characteristic surface plasmon extinction spectrum in the r...

UNLABELLED Silver nanoparticles are well known potent antimicrobial agents. Although significant progresses have been achieved on the elucidation of antimicrobial mechanism of silver nanoparticles, the exact mechanism of action is still not completely known. This overview incorporates a retrospective of previous reviews published and recent original contributions on the progress of research on ...

Silver nanoparticles are increasingly finding applications in medicine; however, little is known about their in vivo tissue distribution. Here, we have developed a rapid method for radiolabeling of silver nanoparticles with iodine-125 in order to track in vivo tissue uptake of silver nanoparticles after systemic administration by biodistribution analysis and single-photon emission computerized ...

The use of silver in the past demonstrated the certain antimicrobial activity, though this has been replaced by other treatments. However, nanotechnology has provided a way of producing pure silver nanoparticles, and it shows cytoprotective activities and possible pro-healing properties. But, the mechanism of silver nanoparticles remains unknown. This study was aimed to investigate the effects ...

The antimicrobial effects of silver nanoparticles were studied. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized through wet chemistry method, and were dispersed in an aqueous suspension. With nanoscale silica particles serving as heterogeneous nucleation sites, silver nanoparticles were formed on the silica surface. Suspensions were found to be stable at high silver concentrations as well as over a broad...

Illicium verum Hooker fillius or commonly called star anise is a member of Magnoliaceae. The synthesis of metal nanoparticles is a growing area for research due to its potentiality in the application and development of advanced technologies. In general, nanoparticles are synthesized by using chemical methods which are not eco-friendly. Here, we have used a fast, convenient and environment-frien...

A series of silver nanoparticles surface-coated with di-n-dodecyldithiophosphate, di-n-cetyldithiophosphate, or di-n-octadecyldithiophosphate have been prepared and have good dispersity in alkanes or kerosene. Stable silver nanofluids can be formed in alkanes or kerosene with the surface-coated silver nanoparticles. Thermal stability of the silver nanofluids has been measured at different tempe...
