In particular, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have great potential in a broad range of applications as antimicrobial agents, biomedical device coatings, drug-delivery carriers, imaging probes, and diagnostic and optoelectronic platforms, since they have discrete physical and optical properties and biochemical functionality tailored by diverse size- and shape-controlled AgNPs. In this review, we aimed to present major routes of synthesis of AgNPs, including physical, chemical, and biological synthesis processes, along with discrete physiochemical characteristics of AgNPs. We also discuss the underlying intricate molecular mechanisms behind their plasmonic properties on mono/bimetallic structures, potential cellular/microbial cytotoxicity, and optoelectronic property. Lastly, we conclude this review

There is insufficient research on the toxicity of Ag2S QDs coated with meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA). In this study, we aimed to determine the cytotoxicity of Ag2S QDs coated with DMSA in Chinese hamster lung fibroblast (V79) cells over a wide range of concentrations (5-2000 µg/mL). Materials and Methods: Cell viability was determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and neutral red uptake (NRU) assays. The genotoxic and apoptotic effects of DMSA/Ag2S QDs were also assessed by comet assay and real-time polymerase chain reaction technique, respectively. Results: Cell viability was 54.0±4.8% and 65.7±4.1% at the highest dose (2000 µg/mL) of Ag2S QDs using the MTT and NRU assays, respectively.

  • Synthesis and Environmental Chemistry of Silver and Iron Oxide Nanoparticles
    SYNTHESIS AND ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY OF SILVER AND IRON OXIDE NANOPARTICLES By SUSAN ALISON CUMBERLAND A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Earth and Environmental Sciences College of Life and Environmental Sciences The University of Birmingham March 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract Engineered nanoparticles are defined as having a dimension that is between one and one hundred nanometres. With toxicology studies reporting various degrees of toxicity the need to investigate nanoparticle fate and behaviour is vital. Monodispersed engineered nanoparticles were synthesised in-house to produce suitable materials to examine such processes. Iron oxide nanoparticles (5 nm) and citrate coated silver nanoparticles (20 nm) were subjected to different conditions of pH, ionic strength and different types of commercially available natural organic matter. Changes in particle size and aggregation were examined using a multi-method approach. Results showed that the natural organic matter was able to adsorb onto nanoparticle surfaces and improve their stability when subjected to changes in pH and ionic strength, where they would normally aggregate.

  • Uncovering Loss Mechanisms in Silver Nanoparticle-Blended Plasmonic Organic Solar Cells
    ARTICLE Received 20 Feb 2013 | Accepted 9 May 2013 | Published 13 Jun 2013 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms3004 Uncovering loss mechanisms in silver nanoparticle-blended plasmonic organic solar cells Bo Wu1, Xiangyang Wu2, Cao Guan1, Kong Fai Tai1, Edwin Kok Lee Yeow2, Hong Jin Fan1,4,5, Nripan Mathews3,4,5 & Tze Chien Sum1,4,5 There has been much controversy over the incorporation of organic-ligand-encapsulated plasmonic nanoparticles in the active layer of bulk heterojunction organic solar cells, where both enhancement and detraction in performance have been reported. Here through comprehensive transient optical spectroscopy and electrical characterization, we demonstrate evidence of traps responsible for performance degradation in plasmonic organic solar cells fabricated with oleylamine-capped silver nanoparticles blended in the poly (3-hexylthiophene):[6,6]-phenyl-C 61-butyric acid methyl ester active layer. Despite an initial increase in exciton generation promoted by the presence of silver nanoparticles, transient absorption spectroscopy reveals no increase in the later free polaron population—attributed to fast trapping of polarons by nearby nanoparticles. The increased trap-assisted recombi- nation is also reconfirmed by light intensity-dependent electrical measurements. These new insights into the photophysics and charge dynamics of plasmonic organic solar cells would resolve the existing controversy and provide clear guidelines for device design and fabrication. 1 Division of Physics and Applied Physics, School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, 21 Nanyang Link, Singapore 637371, Singapore. 2 Division of Chemistry and Biological Chemistry, School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, 21 Nanyang Link, Singapore 637371, Singapore. 3 Division of Materials Technology, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Block N4.1 Nanyang Avenue, Singapore 639798, Singapore.

Nanoscale Research Letters (2016) 11:80 DOI 10.1186/s11671-016-1286-z NANO REVIEW Open Access A Review on Preparation and Applications of Silver-Containing Nanofibers Shu Zhang, Yongan Tang* and Branislav Vlahovic Abstract Silver-containing nanofibers are of great interest recently because of the dual benefits from silver particles and nanofibers. Silver nanoparticles are extensively used for biomedical applications due to the antibacterial and antiviral properties. In addition, silver nanoparticles can excite resonance effect of light trapping when pairing with dielectric materials, such as polymer. Comparing to the traditional fabrics, polymer nanofibers can provide larger number of reaction sites and higher permeability contributed to their high surface-to-volume ratio and high porosity. By embedding the silver nanoparticles into polymer nanofiber matrix, the composite is promising candidates for biomaterials, photovoltaic materials, and catalysts. This work demonstrates and evaluates the methods employed to synthesize silver nanoparticle-containing nanofibers and their potential applications. Keywords: Silver nanoparticle, Biomaterial, Polymer nanofiber, Electrospinning Review With the merits of both advantages of antibacterial Due to their antibacterial [1–3], fungicidal [4–6], and and optical enhancing properties of silver nanoparticles, antiviral [7–10] properties, silver particles have drawn and high surface area and surface energy of nanofibers, tremendous academic and industrial interests.

The technique of FLUORESCENCE Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) is described and compared to other DETECTION - DELETED characterization methodologies, and comparative papers are cited. A wide range of application studies is then summarized with specific reference to the use and value of NTA. For those seeking a full listing of NTA experience to date by application type, the NanoSight publication “Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis - A review of applications and usage 2010 - 2012, (Carr B and Wright M (2013)) and its successors provides a detailed catalogue. This item is available from your local Malvern Instruments representative or email helpdesk@malvern.com. Malvern Instruments Worldwide Sales and service centres in over 65 countries www.malvern.com/contact ©2017 Malvern Instruments Limited WHITEPAPER Introduction Nanoscale materials, in the form of nanoparticles, are playing an important and growing role across a range of different applications and industries which seek to exploit the unique properties exhibited by these materials, such as their very high surface area to volume ratio and high number. The overall properties and stability of many manufactured products often depends upon the ability to produce particle populations within fine tolerances, without contaminants or aggregates. The concentration of particles within a suspension is another factor that may have an effect upon the desired outcome of the product. It is clear then that there is a real need to characterize a variety of different properties when analyzing nanoparticles, in order to understand the relationship between the formulation and the overall bulk characteristics of the materials (Fedotov, 2011).
