Nanoparticle silver released into water from commercially available sock fabrics.
Manufacturers of clothing articles employ nanosilver (n-Ag) as an antimicrobial agent, but the environmental impacts of n-Ag release from commercial products are unknown. The quantity and form of the nanomaterials released from consumer products should be determined to assess the environmental risks of nanotechnology. This paper investigates silver released from commercial clothing (socks) into...

متن کاملCharacterization of silver release from commercially available functional (nano)textiles.
Silver, both in the nano as well as in other forms, is used in many applications including antimicrobial textiles. Washing of such textiles has already been identified as an important process that results in the release of silver into wastewater. This study thus investigated the release of silver from eight different commercially available silver-textiles during a washing and rinsing cycle. The...
متن کاملEvaluating antimicrobial efficacy of new commercially available silver dressings.
Prevention and treatment of bacterial colonised/infected wounds are critical. Many commercially available silver dressings claim broad-spectrum bactericidal activity over days and are indicated for serious conditions including burns and ulcers. However, there is no peer-reviewed literature available for many newer dressings. This study compared the activity of some of these dressings. Six silve...
متن کاملSuperior absorption and retention properties of foam-film silver dressing versus other commercially available silver dressing
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to investigate the physicochemical and structural properties of Medifoam®Silver and to compare with other commercially available silver-containing polyurethane (PU) foam dressing in vitro. METHODS Surface and cross-section of four polyurethane foam dressings were assessed with field-emission scanning electron microscope. Thickness, density, tensile strength...
