recently, biosynthesis of nanoparticles has received attention due to an increasing need of developing rapid, simple and ecofriendly protocol. pathogenicity of some of the organisms and lengthy reaction are the drawbacks involved with biosynthesis. we describe a simple protocol for rapid synthesis of silver nanoparticles through biological route using a marine-derived fungus aspergillus niger. ...

Silver is composed of a large percentage of silver oxide due to their large ratio of surface to bulk silver atoms. Silver nanoparticles have been a potent antibacterial, antifungal, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory agent. A simple, eco-friendly, inexpensive biosynthetic method was employed to synthesize silver nanoparticles.  The present study aimed at the comparative study of silver nanopartic...

The aim of the study was to synthesize silver nanoparticles by using filamentous fungus Penicillium sp. The fungal culture was isolated from the soil samples collected from agriculture fields in Vellore district, Tamil Nadu, India. The purified fungal isolates were inoculated in minimal medium and incubated at room temperature for three days. For the synthesis of silver nanoparticles, 50 ml of ...

Polymer nanocomposites incorporating metal or metal oxide nanoparticles have been developed to improve their characteristics (flexibility, gas barrier properties, antimicrobial or antioxidant properties, etc.). Among them silver nanoparticles are used because of their antimicrobial effect in many daily life materials, i.e. food packaging. However, there is not any reference to the migration of ...

Nanotechnology is a field of science which involves the synthesis and applications of nanoparticles. Silver nanoparticles (AgNp) have applications in various fields due to their unique optical, physical, electrical and medicinal properties. In this study, silver nanoparticles were synthesized by biophysical method. Silver nanoparticles were characterized by using UV-Visible absorption spectrosc...

The interaction between silver nanoparticles and viruses is attracting great interest due to the potential antiviral activity of these particles, and is the subject of much research effort in the treatment of infectious diseases. In this work, we demonstrate that silver nanoparticles undergo a size-dependent interaction with herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 and with human parainfluenza virus ...

Biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles using microorganisms has received profound interest because of their potential to synthesize nanoparticles of various size, shape and morphology. In the current study, synthesis of silver nanoparticles by a bacterial strain (CS 11) isolated from heavy metal contaminated soil is reported. Molecular identification of the isolate showed it as a strain o...

Zn0.9Cd0.1S nanoparticles doped with 0.005-0.24 M cobalt have been prepared by co-precipitation technique in ice bath at 280 K. For the cobalt concentration >0.18 M, XRD pattern shows unidentified phases along with Zn0.9Cd0.1S sphalerite phase. For low cobalt concentration (≤0.05 M) particle size, dXRDis ~3.5 nm, while for high cobalt concentration (>0.05 M) particle size decreases abruptly (~2...

Here we report synthesis of silver nanoparticles using leaf extracts of four varieties of lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) namely krishna, neema, pragati and suvarna and their antibacterial activities against drug resistant bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinatobacter bamunnii. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized by the bio-reduction of silver nitrate solution (1 ...

Preparation of silver nanoparticle by using leaf extracts of Terminalia catappa, its deposition on Nylon fabrics, and the modification with an addition of HDTMS have been conducted in this research. The samples prepared in this study were nylon cloth (N0), nylon cloth silver nanoparticles (N1), Nylon cloth HDTMS (N2), Nylon cloth − silver nanoparticles − HDTMS (N3), and Nylon cloth HDTMS silver...
