Single crystal of AgNO3 doped γ-glycine, a nonlinear optical (NLO) material have been grown by slow evaporation method. The phase purity and crystal structure of the grown crystals have been confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction studies. Thermal analysis was carried out to study the effect of AgNO3 doping on thermal stability of γ-glycine crystal. Functional groups of the grown crystal were ide...

PURPOSE This study compares four chemotherapeutic regimens used for inhibiting carious lesion progression: silver nitrate (AgNO3); silver fluoride/stannous fluoride (AgF/SnF2); silver diammine fluoride (SDF); and chlorhexidine (CHX). METHODS For this study, a bacterial model system containing Mutans streptococci (MS) and Lactobacilli casei (L) was used to generate carious lesions on 85 extrac...

Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) are currently defined as emerging pollutants in surface water ecosystems. Whether the toxic effects of AgNP towards freshwater organisms are fully explainable by the release of ionic silver (Ag(+)) has not been conclusively elucidated. Long-term effects to benthic microbial communities (periphyton) that provide essential functions in stream ecosystems are unknown. Th...

Silver nanoparticle (AgNPs) is one of the widely used nanoparticles because their antimicrobial properties. In this present study, effect green synthesized silver and bulk form (AgNO3) at different concentrations (250, 500, 750 1000 ppm) on seed quality parameters groundnut were studied. using Azadirachta indica leaves characterized by Dynamic light scattering, UV- Vis FTIR spectrum. Size, zeta...

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in commercial products, and there are growing concerns about their impact on the environment. Information about the molecular interaction of AgNPs with plants is lacking. To increase our understanding of the mechanisms involved in plant responses to AgNPs and to differentiate between particle specific and ionic silver effects we determined the morpho...

There is an increasing interest in using of silver coated (silver nitrate, silver alloy, silver oxide) catheters for hospital patients. Clinical trials with silver-coated urinary catheters have shown conflicting results. The most often performed catheterization is for a short period of time. The above observations have encouraged the authors to investigate the influence of silver nitrate (AgNO3...

silver salts and nanosilver (ns) are the common antimicrobial used in the treatment of chronic wounds, so they are important to assess their dermal toxicity. therefore, in this study, the possible dermal toxicity of ns particles and silver nitrate (agno3), was tested by determining the serum level of transforming growth factor-β1(tgf-β1) and study on of mouse skin tissue. in this study, 30 balb...

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of differentpreservative solutions to improve the keeping quality of tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa cv. Single). These preservative solutions (treatments) were: T1= 2% sucrose + 200 mg/l AgNO3, T2= 2% sucrose + 200 mg/l AgNO3 + 25 mg/l citric acid, T3= 2% sucrose + 300 mg/l HQS, T4 = 2% sucrose + 300 mg/l HQS+ 25 mg/l citric acid, T5= 2% sucro...

In this study, we analyzed the antimicrobial activities of poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (pNIPAM)-based polymeric nanoparticles encapsulating silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Three sizes of AgNP-encapsulating pNIPAM- and pNIPAM-NH2-based polymeric nanoparticles were fabricated. Highly stable and uniformly distributed AgNPs were encapsulated within polymeric nanoparticles via in situ reduction of AgNO...

We describe an atmospheric-pressure plasma process for the reduction of metal cation-containing polymer films to form electrically conductive patterns. Thin films of poly(acrylic) acid (PAA) containing silver ions (Ag) were prepared by mixing the polymer with silver nitrate (AgNO3) in solution to produce a cross-linked precipitate, homogenizing, and depositing onto a substrate by doctor’s blade...
