ObjectiveThe present work represents the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Withania coagulans extract and its antibacterial property. The synergy, additive, bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect of silver nanoparticles was determined against Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Salmonella typhi, and Vibrio cholerae. Methods <...

in this study silver/poly vinyl alcohol (pva) and silver/poly vinyl pyrrolidone (pvp) nanocomposites were prepared via reduction of silver salt by employing dmf (n, n`- dimethyl formamide) as a reducing agent. effects of protective agents such as pva and pvp were also described here. we show that the acidic ph of pvp solution also affects the interaction between protective agents and silver nan...

The exploitation of various plant materials for the biosynthesis of nanoparticles is considered a green technology as it does not involve any harmful chemicals. The aim of this study was to develop a simple biological method for the synthesis of silver and gold nanoparticles using Chrysopogon zizanioides. To exploit various plant materials for the biosynthesis of nanoparticles was considered a ...

BACKGROUND Biosynthesis of nanoparticles using microorganisms, enzymes, and plant extracts is regarded as an alternative to chemical methods. Microalgae appear to be an efficient biological platform for nanoparticle synthesis as they grow rapidly and produce large biomass at lower cost. OBJECTIVES The possibility of silver nanoparticles biosynthesisby freshwater green microalgae, Chlamydomona...

BACKGROUND Development of an environmentally benign process for the synthesis of silver nanomaterials is an important aspect of current nanotechnology research. Among the 600 species of the genus Dioscorea, Dioscorea bulbifera has profound therapeutic applications due to its unique phytochemistry. In this paper, we report on the rapid synthesis of silver nanoparticles by reduction of aqueous Ag...

Surfactant capped uniform silver nanoparticles were synthesized by the chemical reduction reaction in a microemulsion media, which is formed under high shear mixing condition. Silver nitrate solution and 2-ethyl hexanol were taken as aqueous and organic phase, sodium borohydride was used as reducing agent and Span-80 (sorbitan monooleate) as the capping agent. Synthesized silver nanoparticles w...

To probe the nature of metal-catalysed processes and to design better metal-based catalysts, atomic scale understanding of catalytic processes is highly desirable. Here we use aberration-corrected environmental transmission electron microscopy to investigate the atomic scale processes of silver-based nanoparticles, which catalyse the oxidation of multi-wall carbon nanotubes. A direct semi-quant...

Today, drug resistance is one of the major problems in fight against cancer. Therefore, combination of therapeutic strategies was raised to effectively improve disease prognosis. In this regard, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are considered significant due to their anticancer properties. This study aimed to return sensitivity to cisplatin to A2780 cisplatin-resistance cell lines in the presence o...
