In this work, in situ transmission electron microscopy heating has been used to investigate the effects of a carbon capping layer on sintering of silver nanoparticles. For the first time, we make direct and real-time measurements of surface diffusivity of silver in nanoparticles coated with carbon. We observe that the carbon surface coatings may significantly inhibit sintering in silver nanopar...

The aim of this study was to optimize the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using leaves of Aegle marmelos as the primary source. The optimal reaction medium comprised 2:1 concentration of leaf extract and 6mM concentration of silver nitrate solution (pH 7. The biosynthesized silver nanoparticles were confirmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy at 420 nm, XRD and FTIR analysis. The antimicrobial proper...

An invitro study was conducted to investigate the antiviral properties of silver nanoparticles synthesized from fungal strain Aspergillus sps isolated from soil. The isolated and characterized silver nanoparticles exhibited as an excellent antiviral property on Bacteriophage viral strain. The viral inactivation process was increased with increasing the concentration of silver nanoparticles.

Uniform silver nanoparticles have been prepared through the chemical reduction of silver ions by ethanol in presence of sodium linoleate.

Numerical simulations of the electric ...

In this paper, we report on the space-selective precipitation of silver nanoparticles in ion-exchanged silicabased glasses, by simultaneous continuous wave UV exposure and heat treatment. Changes in the absorption spectrum of the glass are explained by the growth of the silver nanoparticles when increasing the UV power density and the annealing temperature. Nanoparticles of average diameter 40 ...
