Colloidal solutions of gold and silver nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized using a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm, 6 ns, 1 Hz ) ablation. Gold and silver bars were immersed in deionized water and irradiated by laser pulses for 4 min. The laser fluence was verified within the range of 21 – 39 J/cm2 with a fixed beam diameter of 1.6 mm. The effect of laser pulse fluence on both size and ablation efficiency of gold and silver nanoparticles were studied. The optical spectral characterization and morphological analysis of these nanoparticles were carried out by UV-Vis spectrophotometer and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. The average particle size for Au and Ag are 38.0 ± 10.3 nm and 31.3 ± 10.5 nm at corresponding optimized laser fluence of 31 and 25 Jcm-2 respectively.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) doped in the zeolite framework (AgNPs/Z) were successfully synthesized by γ-irradiation in ethanol solution of silver ion-zeolite (Ag+/Z) prepared by ion exchange reaction between silver nitrate (AgNO3) and zeolite 4A. The effects of the Ag+ concentration and irradiation dose on the formation of AgNPs/Z were also investigated. AgNPs/Z with the silver content of about 10,000 ppm and the average particle size of AgNPs of about 27 nm was characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Firstly, AgNPs/Z was added into PP resins for creation of PP-AgNPs/Z masterbatch (Ag content of ~10.000 ppm) and then PP-AgNPs/Z plastics were preapared by mixing masterbatch with PP resins. The antibacterial activity of the PP-AgNPs/Z plastics was investigated against Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli). The results showed that PP-AgNPs/Z plastic contained 100 ppm of Ag possessed a high antibacterial property, namely the bactericidal effect was more than 96 % on the platic surface. In conclusion, possessing many advantages such as: vigorously antibacterial effect and good dispersion in plastic matrix, AgNPs/Z is promising to be applied as bactericidal agent for plastic industry.

Synthesis of silver nanoparticles embedded on calcium alginate film and the catalytic property of this film in the reduction of nitrobenzene with sodium borohydride are demonstrated in this work. Natural polymer alginate acts as effective reducing and stabilizing agent in synthesis of silver nanoparticles. Effect of different parameters on the preparation of silver nanoparticles, such as, temperature, concentration of silver precursor and heating time was investigated. As-prepared silver nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, UV-Vis spectrometry, and atomic absorption spectrometry. Transmission electron microscopy analysis con-firms the formation of silver nanoparticles with particles size range of 3–19 nm and average particle size was found to be 10±4 nm. Effect of concentration of nitrobenzene and sodium borohydride, catalyst loading and temperature on the catalytic reduction of nitrobenzene was studied. Reusability of catalyst was examined in this reduction reaction and the catalyst shows good activity up to 10th run.

Poly(vinyl-pyrrolidone) (PVP) stabilized silver nanoparticles with an average particle size ranging from 4.3 to 4.9 nm were synthesized by laser ablation in preformed colloids in methanol, acetone, ethylene glycol, and glycerin. Aqueous colloids obtained using PVP, poly(vinyl-alcohol) (PVA), and sodium citrate as stabilizing agents also lead to a good control over particle size distribution. Silver ions were reduced with sodium borohydride. The smaller average particle size and narrower dispersivity in comparison to previously reported data were ascribed to the relatively small size of the particles formed in the chemical reduction step, laser fluence, and the use of PVP, which was not previously used as the stabilizing agent in “top-down” routes. The surface plasmon resonance band maximum wavelength shifted from 398 nm in methanol to 425 nm in glycerin. This shift must be due to solvent effects since all other variables were the same.

AbstractA method to generate line pattern structures in thin organic films with embedded gold and silver nanoparticles is introduced. The films are irradiated with ultrashort, linearly polarized laser pulses. As we find out from electron microscopy (TEM, SEM), periodically arranged line-like structures are formed after the irradiation. We have used so far three different laser wavelengths (266 nm, 400 nm, 800 nm). The resulting structure periods in the range of 170 nm to 600 nm indicate a linear correlation of the period length of the line structures and the wavelength of the incident laser light. The direction of the particle lines corresponds to the linear polarization of the laser pulses. The anisotropic structure modification is mirrored in corresponding anisotropic optical film properties.

Recently, PbO containing glass systems in commercial silver paste have been used due to their low glass transition temperature, good thermal and electrical properties. However, PbO is a hazardous material to both health and the environment. In this study, Pb-free silver paste was prepared by mixing commercial silver powder and silver nanoparticles. The commercial powder has an average particle size of 1.6 μm. The silver nanoparticles with particles size of 20–50 nm were synthesized by a chemical reduction method using surfactant. Pb-free frit was added into the mixed silver powder as the amounts of 3, 6 and 9 wt%. Using the obtained paste, thick films were fabricated by a screen printing on alumina substrate and the films were fired at temperature from 400 to 550 °C. The films had thickness of 6–11 μm and sheet resistivity of about 4–11 μΩ cm.

Cannonball (Couroupita guianensis) is a tree belonging to the family Lecythidaceae. Various parts of the tree have been reported to contain oils, keto steroids, glycosides, couroupitine, indirubin, isatin, and phenolic substances. We report here the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using cannonball leaves. Green synthesized nanoparticles have been characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, SEM, TEM, and FTIR. Cannonball leaf broth as a reducing agent converts silver ions to AgNPs in a rapid and ecofriendly manner. The UV-Vis spectra gave surface plasmon resonance peak at 434 nm. TEM image shows well-dispersed silver nanoparticles with an average particle size of 28.4 nm. FTIR showed the structure and respective bands of the synthesized nanoparticles and the stretch of bonds. Green synthesized silver nanoparticles by cannonball leaf extract show cytotoxicity to human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7). Overall, this environmentally friendly method of biological silver nanoparticles production provides rates of synthesis faster than or comparable to those of chemical methods and can potentially be used in various human contacting areas such as cosmetics, foods, and medical applications.

Antibacterial silver can be used against such micro-organisms as bacteria and molds. When Ag nanoparticles are attached to an inorganic carrier, e.g., silica long-term antimicrobial functionality can be gained. Such Ag-SiO2particles are potential for water purification or bactericidal applications. In this work, submicron sized silica particles doped with Ag were prepared by the modified Stöber method. The as-prepared powder was air-dried and annealed for 75 minutes at 573, 673, 773, 873, 973, 1073, 1173, or 1273 K in air. The powders were studied by DSC/TGA, XRD, SEM, TEM and UV-vis methods. The as-prepared powder consisted of round silica particles having size around several hundred nanometers. XRD and SEM studies confirmed that the powder consisted of metallic silver nanoparticles on the submicron silica surface after annealing at 873 K or higher. According to the SEM study the silver particles had an average particle size between 19-400 nm depending on the annealing temperature. DSC was used to determine the phase transformation temperatures. After annealing the Ag-SiO2powder at 873 K the TEM study suggested that the silver had crystalline structure. The XRD studies confirmed that silver appeared as a FCC crystal structure. The UV-vis measurements of Ag-SiO2powder annealed at and below 773 K showed a steady increase in absorption with decreasing wavelength without absorption peaks. Annealing at 873 K and above resulted in a strong peak in between 404 nm and 416 nm. This peak can be attributed to the surface plasmon resonance of silver nanoparticles.

Momordica charantia is a phenolic rich vegetable. In this study, the fruits and seeds extract of M. charantia were used to synthesize silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) using biotechnological approach. Structural, morphological, and antimicrobial properties of the synthesized Ag-NPs were characterized using UV/Vis Spectrophotometry, Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), High Resolution Transmission Electronics Microscopy (HRTEM), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-Ray diffraction (XRD). In DLS, the average particle size of Ag-NPs was found 17.5 ± 2.1 nm and 18.3 ± 1.9 nm using seed and fruit extract, respectively. HRTEM has revealed their spherical structure for both seed and fruit extract of M. charantia. FESEM images found Ag-NPs with the size between ~20 and ~35 nm. The Ag NPs exhibited Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) centered at 405 nm for seed extract and 402 nm for fruit extract using a UV–visible spectrophotometer. FT-IR results showed phenolic and carbohydrate compounds involved in the synthesis of the Ag NPs. Furthermore, the synthesized Ag NPs has found highly rich in antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium. Thus, bioconversion of Ag NPs by M. charantia could be employed as a potential antibacterial source to eliminate pathogenic microorganisms from agricultural and food preservation industry.
