Silver nanoparticles were synthesized by reduction method using glucose as reducing agent for precursor AgNO3. This research was aimed at comparing the stability and performance of silver nanoparticles with stabilizer gelatin (Gelatin-AgNPs) and tween-20 (Tween-AgNPs) produced from the synthesis to the silver nanoparticles without stabilizer, and applying the Gelatin-AgNPs and Tween-AgNPs to detect heavy metal in water sample. The silver nanoparticles produced were characterized using UV-Vis spectrophotometer and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). From measurement of UV-Vis spectrophotometer, the absorbance wavelength of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) appeared in range 411 nm, Gelatin-AgNPs in 417 nm, and Tween-AgNPs in 420 nm. The identification using TEM showed the average size for each AgNPs, Gelatin-AgNPs, and Tween-AgNPs was 11.73, 9.68, and 17.54 nm, respectively. The result showed that Gelatin-AgNPs has better stability compared to Tween-AgNPs. The reaction of Gelatin-AgNPs and Tween-AgNPs with several ions showed color changes of Gelatin-AgNPs and Tween-AgNPs occurred only on addition to Hg2+ metal ions solution. Based on the experiment of Hg2+ metal ions determination this method has limit of detection of 0.45 mg/L for Gelatin-AgNPs and 0.13 mg/L for Tween-AgNPs.

Green Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles

This research aimed to enhance the antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized from silver nitrate (AgNO3) using aloe vera extract. It was performed by means of incorporating AgNPs on an activated carbon nanoparticle (ACNPs) under ultrasonic agitation (40 kHz, 2 × 50 watt) for 30 min in an aqueous colloidal medium. The successful AgNPs synthesis was clarified with both Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometers. The successful AgNPs–ACNPs incorporation and its particle size analysis was performed using Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). The brown color suspension generation and UV-Vis’s spectra maximum wavelength at around 480 nm confirmed the existence of AgNPs. The particle sizes of the produced AgNPs were about 5 to 10 nm in the majority number, which collectively surrounded the aloe vera extract secondary metabolites formed core-shell like nanostructure of 8.20 ± 2.05 nm in average size, while ACNPs themselves were about 20.10 ± 1.52 nm in average size formed particles cluster, and 48.00 ± 8.37 nm in average size as stacking of other particles. The antibacterial activity of the synthesized AgNPs and AgNPs-immobilized ACNPs was 57.58% and 63.64%, respectively (for E. coli); 61.25%, and 93.49%, respectively (for S. aureus). In addition, when the AgNPs-immobilized ACNPs material was coated on the cotton and polyester fabrics, the antibacterial activity of the materials changed, becoming 19.23% (cotton; E. coli), 31.73% (polyester; E. coli), 13.36% (cotton; S. aureus), 21.15% (polyester; S. aureus).

Abstract Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been used in a variety of biomedical applications in the last two decades, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer treatments. The present study highlights the extracellular synthesis of silver nanoparticles AgNPs using Neopestalotiopsis clavispora MH244410.1 and its antibacterial, antibiofilm, and genotoxic properties. Locally isolated N. clavispora MH244410.1 was identified by Internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA. Optimization of synthesized AgNPs was performed by using various parameters (pH (2, 4, 7, 9 and 12), temperature (25, 35 and 45 °C), and substrate concentration (0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2 and 0.25 mM)). After 72 hours of incubation in dark conditions, the best condition for the biosynthesis of AgNPs was determined as 0.25 mM metal concentration at pH 12 and 35 °C. Fungal synthesized AgNPs were characterized via spectroscopic and microscopic techniques such as Fouirer Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer (FTIR), UV-Visible Spectroscopy, and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The average size of the AgNPs was determined less than 60 nm using the TEM and Zetasizer measurement system (measured in purity water suspension). The characteristic peak of AgNPs was observed at ~414 nm from UV-Vis results. Antibacterial and genotoxic activity of synthesized AgNPs (0.1, 1, and 10 ppm) were also determined by using the agar well diffusion method and in vivo Somatic Mutation and Recombination Test (SMART) in Drosophila melanogaster. AgNPs exhibited potential antimicrobial activity against all the tested bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) except Escherichia coli in a dose-dependent manner. AgNPs did not induce genotoxicity in the Drosophila SMART assay. 79.33, 65.47, and 41.95% inhibition of biofilms formed by P. aeruginosa were observed at 10, 1, and 0.1 ppm of AgNPs, respectively. The overall results indicate that N. clavispora MH244410.1 is a good candidate for novel applications in biomedical research.

Gene therapy is a promising approach in cancer treatment; however, current methods have a number of limitations mainly due to the difficulty in delivering therapeutic nucleic acids to their sites of action. The application of non-viral carriers based on nanomaterials aims at protecting genetic material from degradation and enabling its effective intracellular transport. We proposed the use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) surface-modified with carbosilane dendrons as carriers of anticancer siRNA (siBcl-xl). Using gel electrophoresis, zeta potential and hydrodynamic diameter measurements, as well as transmission electron microscopy, we characterized AgNP:siRNA complexes and demonstrated the stability of nucleic acid in complexes in the presence of RNase. Hemolytic properties of free silver nanoparticles and complexes, their effect on lymphocyte proliferation and cytotoxic activity on HeLa cells were also examined. Confocal microscopy proved the effective cellular uptake of complexes, indicating the possible use of this type of silver nanoparticles as carriers of genetic material in gene therapy.

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

ABSTRACTA carbothermal reaction process was employed to synthesize nano-sized boron carbide particles. The reactions were carried out by heating a mixture of boric oxide powder and amorphous carbon reactant under a flow of argon atmosphere in a conventional high temperature tube furnace at 1350–1700 °C for 1–4 h. In order to obtain stoichiometric powder product, additional pure boron powder was added to the reaction mixture to compensate for the boron loss in the form of B2O2/B2O3vapor during the reaction. The effect of the structure and morphology of the precursor materials on that of the products was also investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies indicated that the powdered product prepared under optimized reaction conditions was crystalline boron carbide. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations showed that the product nanoparticles ranged from 50 nm to 250 nm with the average size between 100 nm and 150 nm depending on the reaction conditions. Some boron carbide particles were as small as 50 nm. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) was also used to determine the stoichiometry of the boron carbide nanoparticle products.

A sensitive electrochemical immunosensor was prepared for rapid detection of ASA based on arsanilic acid (ASA) monoclonal antibody with high affinity. In the preparation of nanomaterials, polyethyleneimine (PEI) improved the stability of the solution and acted as a reducing agent to generate reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with relatively strong conductivity, thereby promoting the transfer of electrons. The dual conductivity of rGO and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) improved the sensitivity of the sensor. The synthesis of nanomaterials were confirmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. In the optimal experiment conditions, the sensor could achieve the detection range of 0.50–500 ng mL−1 and the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.38 ng mL−1 (S/N = 3). Moreover, the sensor exhibited excellent specificity and acceptable stability, suggesting that the proposed sensor possessed a good potential in ASA detection. Thus, the as-prepared biosensor may be a potential way for detecting other antibiotics in meat and animal-derived foods.

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.
