We report the synthesis of tubular gold and silver nanoshells on silica nanowire core templates in solution. Silica nanowires were synthesized and characterized with optical and NMR methods. Gold nanoparticle seeds (2 to 3 nm) with weak repulsive surfactants such as tetrakis-hydroxymethyl-phosphonium chloride (THPC) were conjugated to the surface of these nanowires. A regrowth process was initi...

biofabrication by using fungi is an exciting recent interest to develop an eco-friendly production of metallic nanoparticles (nps) for pharmaceutical applications. this study aimed to synthesize and characterize gold (au) and silver (ag) nps by using penicillium simplisimum. the fungus was grown in fluid czapek dox broth on shaker at 28 ºc and 200 rpm for ten days. then the supernatant was sepa...

Halothane, independent of oxygen tension, increased the signal of the gold/silver-silver chloride microelectrode. The output of microelectrodes at different oxygen tensions in the presence of increasing amounts of halothane has been measured. Halothane causes an increase in the electrode signal which is proportional to its concentration. This effect results from the polarographic reduction of h...

Recently, the effects of antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles was considered by researcher because of Bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents in chemical.The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the gold nanoparticles on Escherichia coli. Gold nanoparticles are chemically synthesized. Standard strain of E. coli was cultured in a nutrient broth. Minimum ...

The active substrates in surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy were prepared through self-assembly of nanoparticles on functionalized glasses. Colloidal silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were prepared chemically in two different sizes by reduction of AgNO3 using trisodium citrate and sodium borohydride. Gold–silver core–shell nanoparticles were also prepared to compare between the o...

The present study investigated the synthesis of silver and gold nanoparticles by two species of brown seaweeds (Padina tetrastromatica and Turbinaria ornata) through analytical techniques and its antimicrobial activity. The brown seaweeds, P. tetrastromatica and T. ornata were collected from Mandabam, The collected freshly seaweeds were thoroughly washed in distilled water. About 20 grams of se...

This work demonstrates a simple route for synthesizing multi-functional fluorescent nanodiamond-gold/silver nanoparticles. The fluorescent nanodiamond is formed by the surface passivation of poly(ethylene glycol) bis(3-aminopropyl) terminated. Urchin-like gold/silver nanoparticles can be obtained via one-pot synthesis, and combined with each other via further thiolation of nanodiamond. The morp...

It is demonstrated that bimetallic silver-gold anisotropic nanostructures can be easily assembled from various nanoparticle building blocks with well-defined geometries by means of electrostatic interactions. One-dimensional (1D) silver nanowires, two-dimensional (2D) silver nanoplates, and spherical gold nanoparticles are used as representative building blocks for bottom-up assembly. The gold ...
