This paper presents an optimisation of the synthesis of silver nanoparticles encapsulated in a biological shell. The synthesis was carried out in an aqueous solution of silver nitrate. Sodium borohydride was used as a reducing agent. Lysozyme served as a bioactive coating agent. The samples produced were studied using dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The function of the dependence of the reagent ratio in obtained sols on optical properties is shown. Furthermore, the influence of the synthesis temperature, reactant ratio, and order of mixing on the particle size distribution parameters is shown. The optimal reagent mass ratio, NaBH4 : LYZ : AgNO3 = 0.22 : 0.77 : 1, is established. The resulting composition allows the synthesis of particles with a mean diameter of 18 nm and a bioshell thickness of ≈3.5 nm. Moreover, the necessity of the synthesis optimisation and precise parameter control is clearly demonstrated.

This paper is the first of its kind for development of rapid and ecofriendly method for synthesis of silver nanoparticles from aqueous solution of silver nitrate using the flavonoid “hesperidin” and optimization of the methodology. There is formation of stable spherical silver nanoparticles in the size range of 20–40 nm. Optimization of methodology in terms of concentration of reactants and pH of the reaction mixture reduced the reaction time for silver nanoparticle formation to 2 mins. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). UV-vis spectroscopy derived spectrum demonstrated a peak of 430 nm which corresponds to the plasmon absorbance of silver nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy revealed spherical shaped silver nanoparticles in the size range of 20–40 nm.

This paper continues our previous work on preparation of triangular silver nanoparticles. The method proceeds with reaction of silver nitrate with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of polyvinyl pyrrolidone in aqueous solution. Effects of the concentration of PVP on the morphologies of Ag NPs were systematically investigated. The obtained Ag NPs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and UV-visible spectrophotometer. The results showed that, triangular Ag NPs with edge lengths in the range of 50-200 nm were obtained using PVP as protective agent with lower concentration. As the concentration of PVP increased, spherical Ag NPs with their sizes about 6.2 nm were prepared and triangular Ag NPs were not obtained. The formation mechanism of triangular Ag NPs has been studied. Ostwald ripening is the driving force on the conversion of spherical Ag NPs to triangular Ag NPs in the presence of PVP.

Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were synthesized using Juglans regia (J. regia) leaf extract, as both reducing and stabilizing agents through microwave irradiation method. The effects of a 1% (w/v) amount of leaf extract (0.1–0.9 mL) and an amount of 1 mM AgNO3 solution (15–25 mL) on the broad emission peak (λmax) and concentration of the synthesized Ag NPs solution were investigated using response surface methodology (RSM). Fourier transform infrared analysis indicated the main functional groups existing in the J. regia leaf extract. Dynamic light scattering, UV-Vis spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the synthesized Ag NPs. Fabricated Ag NPs with the mean particle size and polydispersity index and maximum concentration and zeta potential of 168 nm, 0.419, 135.16 ppm and −15.6 mV, respectively, were obtained using 0.1 mL of J. regia leaf extract and 15 mL of AgNO3. The antibacterial activity of the fabricated Ag NPs was assessed against both Gram negative (Escherichia coli) and positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria and was found to possess high bactericidal effects.

Background : Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in food industries, biomedical, dentistry, catalysis, diagnostic biological probes and sensors. The use of plant extract for AgNPs synthesis eliminates the process of maintaining cell culture and the process could be scaled up under a non-aseptic environment. The purpose of this study is to determine the classes of phytochemicals, to biosynthesize and characterize the AgNPs using Clinacanthus nutans leaf and stem extracts. In this study, AgNPs were synthesized from the aqueous extracts of C. nutans leaves and stems through a non-toxic, cost-effective and eco-friendly method. Results : The formation of AgNPs was confirmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy, and the size of AgNP-L (leaf) and AgNP-S (stem) were 114.7 and 129.9 nm, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis showed spherical nanoparticles with AgNP-L and AgNP-S ranging from 10 to 300 nm and 10 to 180 nm, with average of 101.18 and 75.38 nm, respectively. The zeta potentials of AgNP-L and AgNP-S were recorded at −42.8 and −43.9 mV. X-ray diffraction analysis matched the face-centred cubic structure of silver and was capped with bioactive compounds. Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer analysis revealed the presence of few functional groups of phenolic and flavonoid compounds. These functional groups act as reducing agents in AgNPs synthesis. Conclusion : These results showed that the biogenically synthesized nanoparticles reduced silver ions to silver nanoparticles in aqueous condition and the AgNPs formed were stable and less toxic.

The formation process of silver nanoparticles promoted by ultraviolet has been investigated by on-line UV-vis spectroscopy and transmission electron microscope (TEM). We firstly report that the volume of water will result in the growth of silver nanoparticles with different mechanism, UV-vis spectra show that the growth of nanopaticles presents blue-shift for reactive system with high volume water, but red-shift for that of low volume water. Moreover, experiments reveal that high water volume results in the change of the color of the silver sol accordingly.

Strong Antimicrobial Activity

AbstractThe antimicrobial activity of nanoparticles (NPs) depends of the surface area in contact with microorganisms. The large surface area of the nanoparticles enhances their interaction with the microbes. In this work, a green, simple, rapid, and efficient ultrasound-assisted reduction method for silver nanoparticles (AgNP) synthesis is presented. For the synthesis, an aqueous solution of silver nitrate, ethanol, and ammonia was used. The adopted method can be easily implemented for any kind of scientific or industrial application due to its cost-effective nature. The effect of sonication time on the nanoparticle formation was investigated. Silver nanoparticles were analyzed through transmission electron microscopy and UV-vis spectroscopy. Antimicrobial additives can be incorporated in mass in different matrixes (polymeric or cellulosic), which is a convenient methodology to achieve antimicrobial activity. In this work, silver nanoparticles were incorporated in cellulose using an ultrasonic bath technique. The most important aspect of cellulose containing silver nanoparticles prepared by this method is its high antimicrobial efficiency. The microbiological study was carried out by a standard agar technique. The analysis showed that cellulose with incorporated silver nanoparticles exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against

In recent years, developing nanoparticles with green processes is gaining huge attention due to its cost-effectiveness, simplicity and non–toxic precursors. The present study utilized the potential of egg white for the synthesis of stable silver nanoparticles (EW-AgNPs). In order to characterize the EW-AgNPs, various techniques have been employed. UV-vis spectroscopy (300-700nm) was used to study the λmax, which highlighted the peak at 422nm. Further, the stability of synthesized EW-AgNPs was studied using Zeta potential, the value of -16.4 mV was obtained, indicating the stability of developed EW-AgNPs in the solution. Transmission electron microscopy was used specifically to visualize the shape and size of synthesized EW-AgNPs, the images showed spherical to the diverse shape of EW-AgNPs. In the first phase, the EW-AgNPs were studied for dye degradation along with NaBH4. The enhanced dye degradation of blue dye was obtained with EW-AgNPs+NaBH4, showing 90- 100% degradation from 100- 25 mgL-1 dye solution, respectively. Further, in the second phase, antimicrobial activity (Zone of Inhibition) of EW-AgNPs was analyzed against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. A higher ZOI was obtained for E.coli (16mm) than S. aureus (12.4mm). The present study proved egg white's ability to develop stable silver nanoparticles, which was further found to be effective for blue dye degradation and antimicrobial activity.
