Silver ion has been used for centuries to prevent and treat a variety of diseases and infections. In recent years, extensive studies have been undertaken on the use of antimicrobial properties of silver, incorporated within medical devices. The aim of this study was to prepare a formulation containing silver ion, which could be applied for wound dressing. The purity of nanosilver was measured b...

Conventional plastic can lead to endless pollution as it took millions of years be disposed of, hence an alternative using biodegradable replacing regular everyday has highly participated. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) have the characteristics a however, exhibits low heat distortion temperature. The objective this research is investigate effect nanosilver additions on thermal properties PHA compo...

Abstract This study aimed to determine the possible control of selected pathogenic and competitive fungi A. bisporus by three nanosilver clay composites establish effective concentrations for inhibiting pathogens. Nanosilver (AgNPs) (zeolite, montmorillonite, palygorskite) were synthesized a microwave‐assisted surface functionalization technique, various techniques characterized products. Zeoli...

Currently, little is known about the impact of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on ecologically important microorganisms such as ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB). We performed a multi-analytical approach to demonstrate the effects of uncapped nanosilver (uAgNP), capped nanosilver (cAgNP) and Ag2SO4 on the activities of the AOB: Nitrosomonas europaea, Nitrosospira multiformis and Nitrosococcus ocean...

INTRODUCTION Biocompatibility and antimicrobial activity of endodontic materials are of utmost importance. Considering the extensive applications of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in dentistry and antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles, this study aimed to evaluate the subcutaneous inflammatory reaction of rat connective tissues to white MTA with and without nanosilver (NS) particle...

Silver nanoparticles are recognized as effective antimicrobial agents and have been implemented in various consumer products including washing machines, refrigerators, clothing, medical devices, and food packaging. Alongside the silver nanoparticles benefits, their novel properties have raised concerns about possible adverse effects on biological systems. To protect consumer's health and the en...
