Silver nanoparticles properties

Silver nanoparticles have attract increasing attention for the wide range of applications in biomedicine. Silver nanoparticles, generally smaller than 100 nm and contain 20u201315,000 silver atoms, have distinct physical, chemical and biological properties compared to their bulk parent materials. <br>https://www.cd-bioparticles.com/t/Properties-and-Applications-of-Silver-Nanoparticles_60.html<br>

Presentation Transcript

  1. Silver nanoparticles properties

  2. Optical Properties When silver nanoparticles are exposed to a specific wavelength of light, the oscillating electromagnetic field of the light induces a collective coherent oscillation of the free electrons, which causes a charge separation with respect to the ionic lattice, forming a dipole oscillation along the direction of the electric field of the light. The amplitude of the oscillation reaches maximum at a specific frequency, called surface plasmon resonance (SPR).

  3. Antibacterial Effects The antibacterial effects of silver nanoparticles have been used to control bacterial growth in a variety of applications, including dental work, surgery applications, wounds and burns treatment, and biomedical devices. It is well known that silver ions and silverbased compounds are highly toxic to microorganisms. Introduction of silver nanoparticles into bacterial cells can induce a high degree of structural and morphological changes, which can lead to cell death. Scientists have demonstrated that the antibacterial effect of silver nanoparticles is mostly due to the sustained release of free silver ions from the nanoparticles, which serve as a vehicle for silver ions.

  4. Besides, the optical silver nanoparticles properties can also change when particles aggregate and the conduction electrons near each particle surface become delocalized.
