Formation of silver nanoparticles and nanocraters on silicon wafers

Silver nanocraters and monodisperse nanoparticles were formed on silicon wafers by spin-coating of an aqueous AgNO3/PVA solution and calcination of the resulting Ag+/PVA composite film. The monodisperse Ag nanoparicles were formed from small Ag+/PVA aggregates and were uniformly and stably distributed on the substrate surface. They were located as close as 2.8 nm apart (edge to edge) without coalescence. This nanoparticle stability was apparently derived from their interaction with the oxidized wafer surface. On the other hand, Ag metallic nanocraters with and without nanodots at their centers were produced from large Ag+/PVA aggregates. The explosive decomposition of AgNO3 and PVA by calcination could explain their formation. When Ag+ ions were reduced to Ag nanoparticles prior to calcination, larger Ag nanoparticles were produced probably due to aggregation of closely situated nanoparticles. Those nanoparticles that were located far enough stayed intact. Perspectives are discussed in terms of potential applications.

Thin films of Ag nanoparticles prepared from the reduction of AgI nanoparticles in self-assembled films

A novel method for the preparation of thin films of Ag nanoparticles is reported. Using mercaptoacetic acid as the stabilizing agent, AgI nanoparticles were prepared in aqueous solution. And based on electrostatic interactions, the thiol-passivated AgI nanoparticles were assembled in a self-assembled film by alternative deposition with a cationic polyelectrolyte. Then the AgI nanoparticles in the composite film were reduced by NaBH(4), which resulted in the formation of a thin film of Ag nanoparticles. UV-visible spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data confirmed the transformation from AgI to Ag. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) showed that the formed Ag nanoparticles distributed on the film homogeneously. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) measurement indicated that the prepared thin films could be used as effective SERS substrates. The reduction process was also carried out by UV light at selective surface regions, which resulted in the formation of patterned nanoparticle arrays.     

A green approach to prepare Ag NPs loaded IC/PVA polymeric film for antimicrobial applications

In this study, glyoxal-cross-linked Iota carrageenan (IC) /poly(vinyl alcohol) PVA films were prepared and loaded with silver nanoparticles via a green approach, consisting of sweet lime juice induced in-situ reduction of Ag(I) ions to nano silver within the film matrix. The formation of silver nanoparticles was confirmed using UV–visible spectrophotometry. The Ag NPs-loaded films were also characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The dynamic water uptake data were interpreted by the ‘Power functional model’. The films showed fair antimicrobial action against bacteria E. Coli.     

Effect of Incorporation of Silver on the Electrical Properties of Sol-Gel-Derived Titania Film

Metallic Ag nanoparticles-incorporating titania films were prepared using the sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, UV/Vis optical spectra and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images were recorded to characterize the Ag/titania composite films. Electrometer was used to estimate the resistance of Ag/titania composite film to understand the effect of the incorporation of metallic Ag nanoparticles on the electrical properties of titania film. The results showed that metallic Ag nanoparticles distributed randomly in titania film and most metallic Ag particles size was in the range of 5–15 nm. The agglomeration of a small quantity of metallic Ag particles occurred and when the amount of Ag species was increased the agglomeration was enhanced. The resistance of Ag/titania composite films decreased greatly compared with pure titania film.     

Synthesis,characterization and antibacterial properties of a novel nanocomposite based on polyaniline/polyvinyl alcohol/Ag

In this study, a novel nanocomposite based on polyaniline/polyvinyl alcohol/Ag (PANI/PVA/Ag) has been successfully synthesized. The chemical reduction method was used to produce Ag nanoparticle colloidal solution from Ag⁺ ions. The polymerization of aniline occurred in situ for the preparation of polyaniline (PANI) in the presence of ammonium persulfate. With exposure to Ag nanoparticles on the PANI/PVA composite, a new nanocomposite was obtained. The morphology and particle size of the novel nanocomposite was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analyses. According to XRD analysis, the size of nanoparticles was found to be in the range of 10–17 nm. SEM images showed the favored shape of nanoparticles as triangle which is a benign shape for antibacterial analysis. The antibacterial activity of the obtained nanocomposite was also evaluated against Gram positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (Staph. aureus) and Gram negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) using the paper disk diffusion method. The antibacterial study showed that the PANI/PVA composite did not have a very good antibacterial activity but PANI/PVA/Ag nanocomposites were found to be effective against two bacteria.     

Epidermal cellular response to poly(vinyl alcohol) nanofibers containing silver nanoparticles

A heat-treated PVA nanofibrous matrix containing silver (Ag) was prepared by electrospinning an aqueous 10 wt% PVA solution and followed by heat treatment at 150 °C for 10 min. The average diameter of the as-spun and heat-treated PVA nanofibers was 330 nm. The heat-treated PVA nanofibrous matrix containing Ag was irradiated with UV light to transform the Ag ions in the nanofibrous matrix into Ag nanoparticles. The in vitro cytotoxicity of the Ag ions and/or nanoparticles on normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) and fibroblasts (NHEF) cultures was examined. The PVA nanofibrous matrix containing Ag showed slightly higher level of attachment and spreading in the early stage culture (1 h) than the PVA nanofibers without Ag (control). However, compared with the PVA nanofibers without Ag, the heat-treated and UV-irradiated PVA nanofibers, containing mainly Ag ions and nanoparticles, respectively, showed reduced cell attachment and spreading. This shows that both Ag ions and Ag nanoparticles are cytotoxic to NHEK and NHEF. There was no significant difference in cytotoxicity to NHEK and NHEF between Ag ions and Ag nanoparticles. NHEF appeared to be more sensitive to Ag ions or particles than NHEK. In addition, the residual nitrate ions (NO₃⁻) in the PVA nanofibers had an adverse effect on the culture of both cells.     

Surface Modification of Carbon Nanotube by Poly(ethylene glycol) for the Preparation of Poly(vinyl alcohol) Nanocomposite

Herein, PEGylated multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) was prepared for the successive fabrication of poly(vinyl alcohol) PVA/MWNT nanocomposite film by solution casting. The surface modified MWNT showed a good colloidal stability in a polar solvent, i.e., water. Also, the PEGylated MWNT had an improved dispersion stability in aqueous PVA solution. The mixture of PEGylated MWNT and PVA dissolved in water was film casted and the dispersion uniformity and corresponding improvement of electrical conductivity were investigated. The electrical conductivity of PVA/modified MWNT composite film was three-fold higher than that of PVA/pristine MWNT composite film due to the much improved distribution uniformity of modified MWNT in PVA matrix.     

Effect of Cl− anions on photocatalytic decomposition of gaseous ozone over Au @ Ag/TiO2 catalyst

Au core Ag shell composite structure nanoparticles were prepared using a sol method. The Au core Ag shell composite nanoparticles were loaded on TiO₂ nanoparticles as support using a modified powder–sol method, enabling the generation of Au @ Ag/TiO₂ photocatalysts for photocatalytic decomposition and elimination of ozone. The sols were characterized by means of ultraviolet–visible light (UV–Vis) reflection spectrometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The activity of the Au @ Ag/TiO₂ photocatalysts for photocatalytic decomposition and elimination of ozone was evaluated and the effect of Cl^? anions on the photocatalytic activity of the catalysts was highlighted. Results showed that Au @ Ag/TiO₂ prepared via the modified powder–sol route in the presence of an appropriate amount of NaCl solid as demulsifier had better activity in the photocatalytic decomposition and elimination of ozone. At the same time, Au @ Ag/TiO₂ catalysts had better ability to resist poisonous Cl^? anions than conventional Au/TiO₂ catalyst. The reasons could be, first, that NaCl was capable of reducing the concentration of free Ag⁺ by adsorption on the surface of Ag particles forming AgCl and enhancing the formation of Au core Ag shell particles, leading to a better resistance to Cl^? anions of the catalysts, and, second, AgCl took part in the photocatalytic decomposition of ozone together with Au @ Ag/TiO₂ catalysts and had a synergistic effect on the latter, resulting in better photocatalytic activity of Au @ Ag/TiO₂ catalysts.     

Polymer-initiated photogeneration of silver nanoparticles in SPEEK/PVA films: direct metal photopatterning

Cross-linking of sulfonated poly(ether-ether)ketone-poly(vinyl alcohol) (SPEEK-PVA) materials yields flexible polymer films, possessing high light-sensitivity and ion-exchange capabilities. Adsorbed Ag+ ions are photoreduced in the film under illumination (lambda = 350 nm), leading to metal nanoparticle formation in places where the film has been exposed to the light. Nanoparticles form via reduction of Ag+ by the polymeric alcohol radicals, generated in the system as a result of photochemical H-abstraction from PVA molecules by the excited carbonyl triplet state of SPEEK. Use of the films for direct metal photopatterning is demonstrated.
