AIM Silver colloidal nanoparticles have been incorporated into acrylic resins to induce antimicrobial properties. However, as additives, they can influence the mechanical properties of the final product. Mechanical properties are also dependent on different curing cycles. The aim of this study was to evaluate flexural strength of a denture base resin incorporated with different concentrations o...

Techniques for routine and rapid screening of the presence of foodborne bacteria are needed, and this study reports the feasibility of citrate-reduced silver colloidal SERS for identifying E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella. Relative standard deviation (RSD) of SERS spectra from silver colloidal suspensions and ratios of P-O SERS peaks from small molecule (K3PO4) were used to assess the reproduc...

In the emerging issue of increased multi-resistant properties in foodborne pathogens, silver nano particles are being used increasingly as antimicrobial agents. Thus, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of Nano Colloidal Silver towards food-borne pathogens such as Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica Serovar Ty...

The silver salts of fatty acids were studied as precursors for the preparation of colloidal dispersions of silver nanoparticles and UHMWPE (ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene) composite with silver nanoparticles, as well as the composition, the spectra and SEM (scanning electron microscopy) results. keywords: Silver laurate, silver palmitate, ascorbic acid, differential scanning spectrosc...

an aqueous extract of pimpinella anisum was used for green synthesis of silver nanoparticles by bio reduction of an aqueous solution of silver nitrate. silver nanoparticles were characterized by uv–vis spectrometry, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (sem) and energy-dispersive x-ray analysis (edax). the increase in abs...

CS preparations for topical and/or oral use were subsequently developed to overcome the astringency of, and staining by, simple silver salts[2] while retaining the long-known antiseptic properties of metallic silver.[3] The older preparations, pre-1910, usually contained high levels of oxidized silver (Ag+), not precipitated by isotonic salt solutions, made from silver nitrate and various carri...

In this study, a single-step method for green synthesis of silver nanoparticles usingAloe Vera gel extract and sunlight was investigated. The Aloe Vera gel extractis composed of pectins, lignin, and hemicellulose, which can be used in thereduction of silver ions to produce colloidal silver nanoparticles (AgNPs-AV). Thepreliminary preparation of silver nanoparticles was o...

in study, spherical silver nanoparticles (snps) were synthesized by chemical reduction method from a metal precursor silver nitrate in presence of an anionic surfactant and strong reducing agent. in this experimental work, snps are synthesized in presence of different concentration of stabilizing agent and effect of stabilizing agent on size distribution of snps have been observed. further anti...

A silver-enhanced colloidal gold metalloimmunoassay has been proposed for the determination of Schistosoma japonicum antibody (SjAb) in rabbit serum. The adult worm antigen of S. japonicum (SjAg) was adsorbed passively on the walls of a polystyrene microwell and then reacted with the desired SjAb. The colloidal gold-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody was adsorbed on the walls of th...
