the adsorption characteristics of riboflavin onto silver-deposited iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (ag/fe3o4) have been described. characterization of the synthesized ag/fe3o4 nanoparticles was achieved by ftir spectra, tem image and xrd pattern. the influence of several experimental parameters such as nanoparticles dosage, ph of the sample solution, different orientations of the riboflavin m...

A 2-D array of naked Ag nanoparticles has been synthesized through interfacial reduction of Ag(+) under hydrothermal conditions. The process bestows the synthesis, nucleation, growth and self-assembly of the nanoparticles in a simple one-pot reaction and makes use of no additive or capping agent. The resulting macroscopic liquid silver mirror is highly stable and composed of tightly packed nake...

Some microorganisms perform anaerobic mineral respiration by reducing metal ions to metal nanoparticles, using peptide aggregates as medium for electron transfer (ET). Such a reaction type is investigated here with model peptides and silver as the metal. Surprisingly, Ag(+) ions bound by peptides with histidine as the Ag(+)-binding amino acid and tyrosine as photoinducible electron donor cannot...

In this paper, we investigated the statistical analysis of thermal conductivity of nanofluids containing of decorated Ag nanorods with Cu nanoparticles. For this purpose Ag-Cu hybrid is synthesized and characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD). TEM image shows that Cu nanoparticles successfully decorate on the outer surface of Ag nanorods. Th...

We elucidate that the luminescence from Eu3+-doped phosphor excited by the electron collision can be modified on location near the metallic nanoparticles. The Eu3+-doped phosphor was fabricated on the nanoscaled Ag particles ranging of 5 nm to 30 nm diameter. As a result of the cathodoluminescence measurements, the phosphor films on the Ag particles showed up to twofold more than that of an iso...

In this study, the influence of dyeing on the antibacterial efficiency of polyamide and polyester fabrics loaded with colloidal Ag nanoparticles and the influence of the presence of Ag nanoparticles on the color change of dyed fabrics were investigated. Dyes C.I. acid green 25 and C.I. disperse blue 3 were used for dyeing of polyamide fabrics, while dye C.I. disperse violet 8 was used for dyein...

Monolayer protected nanoparticles, Au@ZrO 2 @stearate and Ag@ZrO 2 @stearate, in which the core–shell nanoparticles, Au@ZrO 2 and Ag@ZrO 2 (ZrO 2 coated Au and Ag nanoparticles) are functionalized with stearic acid, have been synthesized and characterized. The air-dried powders, freely dispersible in several organic solvents (both polar and non-polar), are stable for extended periods. The mater...

Stable silver nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by chemical reduction of silver nitrate in ionic liquids 1Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [Emim] BF4 and 1Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [Emim] PF6 at room temperature. The characterization of the silver nanoparticles such as their size and shape was performed by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Mi...

TiO2-SiO2-Ag composites are fabricated by depositing TiO2 films on silica substrates embedded with Ag nanoparticles. Enhancement of light absorption of the nanostructural composites is observed. The light absorption enhancement of the synthesized structure in comparison to TiO2 originated from the near-field enhancement caused by the plasmonic effect of Ag nanoparticles, which can be demonstrat...

The silk yarn containing Ag nanoparticles was prepared through the chemical reduction under ultrasound irradiation. In this system, ethylene glycol served as a reduction reagent and protecting silver nanoparticles from aggregation. The effect of some parameter, such as power of ultrasound irradiation and temperature in growth of the nanometric Ag were studied. Particle sizes and morphology of n...
