Questions about how to regulate nanoenhanced products regularly arise as researchers determine possible nanoparticle transformation(s). Focusing concern on the incorporation and subsequent release of nano-Ag in fabrics often overshadows the fact that many "conventional silver" antimicrobials such as ionic silver, AgCl, metallic Ag, and other forms will also form different species of silver. In ...

We describe a new dichroic polarizers made by ordering silver nano-fibers to aligned layers. The aligned layers consist of nano-fibers and self-assembled molecular aggregates of lyotropic liquid crystals. Unidirectional alignment of the layers is achieved by means of mechanical shearing. Aligned layers of silver nano-fibers are partially transparent to a linearly polarized electromagnetic radia...

objective(s): so far, extensive research has been conducted on the preparation and characterization of nano ceramics based on ca-si by sol- gel method and bioactivity was evaluated, but, a few researches have paid attention to the preparation of materials by mechanical activation (ma). the aim of this study was the preparation of akermanite nano powder by mechanical activation method and bioact...

In this paper, antineoplastic activities of protein-conjugated silver sulfide nano-crystals with different shapes were described in detail. Transmission electron microscope analysis demonstrated that stable and well-disperse protein-conjugated silver sulfide nano-particles, nano-rods, and nano-wires could be prepared by aqueous chemistry method. The Fourier transform infrared spectrograph analy...

in order to study the effects of magnetic field, silver nano particles and micronutrient fertilizers on sugar beet, an experiment was conducted at razavi research and technology institute, mashhad, iran. experiment carried out with seven treatments based on randomized complete block design with three replications. treatments included (t1) magnetic field and silver nano particles + kemira fertil...

Based on the antimicrobial action of nano-silver, a number of “active” FCMs have been developed that are claimed to extend the shelf-life of food by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms. As commercialization of nano-silver grows, the public and the governments become more concerned about the safety and environmental effects of the widespread use of products containing nano-silver [2]. Severa...

Nano-silver is increasingly used in consumer products from washing machines and refrigerators to devices marketed for the disinfection of drinking water or recreational water. The nano-silver in these products may be released, ending up in surface water bodies which may be used as drinking water sources. Little information is available about the stability of the nano-silver in sources of drinki...

In vivo cytogenetic assay in Allium root meristems has been carried out to study the effect of nano-silver on cell division and mitotic chromosomes. Nano-silver is a potential anti-bacterial agent recommended as a preservative in personal care and consumer products. Nano particles owing to their size can enter freely into the cells and can interfere in cell's normal function. Studies to justify...

in order to study the effects of silver nano particles, magnetic field in corporation with barium, lithium and micronutrient fertilizers on wheat, an experiment was conducted at research farm of razavi research and technology institute in 2008. experiment carried out with eigth treatments based on randomized complete block design with four replications. treatments were including (t1) magnetic f...

a suitable option for manufacture of packing materials is the use of clay and silver nano particles. these materials help create optimal relative impermeable quality, in addition to other features being improved. moisture-packed bread by use of these materials prevent water vapor loss and therefore reduce the level of bread becoming stale. in this study, seven types of nano-films with different...
