Growth of ordered silver nanoparticles in silica film mesostructured with a triblock copolymer PEO-PPO-PEO

Elaboration of mesostructured silica films with a triblock copolymer polyethylene oxide-polypropylene oxide-polyethylene oxide, (PEO-PPO-PEO) and controlled growth of silver nanoparticles in the mesostructure are described. The films are characterized using UV-visible optical absorption spectroscopy, TEM, AFM, SEM, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS). Organized arrays of spherical silver nanoparticles with diameter between 5 and 8 nm have been obtained by NaBH₄ reduction. The size and the repartition of silver nanoparticles are controlled by the film mesostructure. The localization of silver nanoparticles exclusively in the upper-side part of the silica-block copolymer film is evidenced by RBS experiment. On the other hand, by using a thermal method, 40 nm long silver sticks can be obtained, by diffusion and coalescence of spherical particles in the silica-block copolymer layer. In this case, migration of silver particles toward the glass substrate-film interface is shown by the RBS experiment.     

Production and structural characterization of crystalline silver nanoparticles from Bacillus cereus isolate

To date, biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles has been intensively studied using bacteria and fungi. We have isolated and identified metal resistant bacterial strains from electroplating industries, they produce silver nanoparticles. The reduction reaction of aqueous silver nitrate with bacterial biomass was carried out for 120 h. Bacteria produced metallic nanoparticles showed a strong absorbance at surface plasmon resonance wavelength around 420 nm. The size and morphology of these nanoparticles were typically imaged using high resolution transmission electron microscopy, the particles size ranges between 4 and 5 nm and are spherical in shape. The crystal structure of the particles was characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern. The full width half maxima from X-ray diffraction measurements indicated that the particles exhibited face-centered cubic phase.     

Characterization and biocompatibility of chitosan nanocomposites

Chitosan nanocomposites were prepared from chitosan and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) or silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) of ～5 nm size. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed the NPs in chitosan did not aggregate until higher concentrations (120-240 ppm). Atomic force microscopy (AFM) demonstrated that the nanocrystalline domains on chitosan surface were more evident upon addition of AuNPs (60 ppm) or AgNPs (120 ppm). Both nanocomposites showed greater elastic modulus, higher glass transition temperature (T(g)) and better cell proliferation than the pristine chitosan. Additionally, chitosan-Ag nanocomposites had antibacterial ability against Staphylococcus aureus. The potential of chitosan-Au nanocomposites as hemostatic wound dressings was evaluated in animal (rat) studies. Chitosan-Au was found to promote the repair of skin wound and hemostasis of severed hepatic portal vein. This study indicated that a small amount of NPs could induce significant changes in the physicochemical properties of chitosan, which may increase its biocompatibility and potential in wound management.     

Green synthesis of colloidal silver nanoparticles using natural rubber latex extracted from Hevea brasiliensis

Colloidal silver nanoparticles were synthesized by an easy green method using thermal treatment of aqueous solutions of silver nitrate and natural rubber latex (NRL) extracted from Hevea brasiliensis. The UV–Vis spectra detected the characteristic surface plasmonic absorption band around 435 nm. Both NRL and AgNO₃ contents in the reaction medium have influence in the Ag nanoparticles formation. Lower AgNO₃ concentration led to decreased particle size. The silver nanoparticles presented diameters ranging from 2 nm to 100 nm and had spherical shape. The selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns indicated that the silver nanoparticles have face centered cubic (fcc) crystalline structure. FTIR spectra suggest that reduction of the silver ions are facilitated by their interaction with the amine groups from ammonia, which is used for conservation of the NRL, whereas the stability of the particles results from cis-isoprene binding onto the surface of nanoparticles. Therefore natural rubber latex extracted from H. brasiliensis can be employed in the preparation of stable aqueous dispersions of silver nanoparticles acting as a dispersing and/or capping agent. Moreover, this work provides a new method for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles that is simple, easy to perform, pollutant free and inexpensive.     

A facile route to synthesize silver nanoparticles in polyelectrolyte capsules

We are reporting a novel green approach to incorporate silver nanoparticles (NPs) selectively in the polyelectrolyte capsule shell for remote opening of polyelectrolyte capsules. This approach involves in situ reduction of silver nitrate to silver NPs using PEG as a reducing agent (polyol reduction method). These nanostructured capsules were prepared via layer by layer (LbL) assembly of poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and dextran sulfate (DS) on silica template followed by the synthesis of silver NPs and subsequently the dissolution of the silica core. The size of silver nanoparticles synthesized was 60±20 nm which increased to 100±20 nm when the concentration of AgNO(3) increased from 25 mM to 50 mM. The incorporated silver NPs induced rupture and deformation of the capsules under laser irradiation. This method has advantages over other conventional methods involving chemical agents that are associated with cytotoxicity in biological applications such as drug delivery and catalysis.     

Synthesis of size tunable monodispersed silver nanoparticles and the effect of size on SERS enhancement

Spherical and monodispersed silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are ideal for fundamental research as the contribution from size and shape can be accounted for in the experimental design. In this paper a seeded growth method is presented, whereby varying the concentration of sodium borohydride-reduced silver nanoparticle seeds, different sizes of stable spherical nanoparticles with a low polydispersity nanoparticles are produced using hydroquinone as a selective reducing agent. The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) enhancement factor for each nanoparticle size produced (17, 26, 50, and 65 nm) was then assessed using three different analytes, rhodamine 6G (R6G), malachite green oxalate (MGO) and thiophenol (TP). The enhancement factor gives an indication of the Raman enhancement effect by the nanoparticle. Using non-aggregated conditions and two different laser excitation wavelength (633 nm and 785 nm) it is shown that an increase in particle size results in an increased enhancement for each analyte used.

Morphology and size-controlled synthesis of silver nanoparticles in aqueous surfactant polymer solutions

We have employed a number of reducing and capping agents to obtain Ag(0) metallic nanoparticles of various sizes and morphologies. The size and morphology were tuned by selecting reducing and capping agents. Spherical particles of 15 and 43 nm diameter were obtained when 1 wt% aqueous starch solution of AgNO₃ precursor salt was reduced by d(+)-glucose and NaOH, respectively, on heating at 70 °C for 30 min. Smaller size particles obtained in the case of d(+)-glucose reduction has been attributed to the slow reduction rate by mild reducing agent d(+)-glucose compared to strong NaOH. Conducting the reduction at ambient temperature of silver salt in liquid crystalline pluronic P123 and L64 also gave spherical particles of 8 and 24 nm, respectively, without the addition of any separate reducing agent. NaOH reduction of salt in ethylene glycol (11 g)/polyvinyl pyrolidone (PVP; 0.053 g) mixture produced large self-assembled cubes of 520 nm when smaller (26–53 nm) star-shaped sharp-edged structures formed initially aggregated on heating the preparation at 190 °C for 1 h. Increasing the amount of PVP (0.5 g) in ethylene glycol (11 g) and heating at 70 °C for 30 min yielded a mixture of spherical and non-spherical (cubes, hexagons, pentagons, and triangle) particles without the addition of an extra reducing agent. Addition of 5 wt% PVP to 1 wt% aqueous starched solution resulted in the formation of a mixture of spherical and anisotropic structures when solution heated at 70 °C for 1 h. Homogeneous smaller sized (29 nm) cubes were synthesized by NaOH reduction of AgNO₃ in 12.5 wt% of water-soluble polymer poly(methyl vinyl ether) at ambient temperature in 30 min reaction time.
