nano technology has a large number of applications in different fields of science and technology. nano particle are the tiny particles which are being used in upcoming technology due to their small size and high capability. the properties of nanoparticles depend largely on their synthesis procedures. there are different methods for the synthesis of nano particles using different conditions. in ...

During the last couple of years several ink manufacturers have presented metal nano-particle inks for inkjet printing. These inks provide low resistances on plastic and paper substrates, thus enabling manufacturing of high-conductivity conductors that could be used in circuit boards. Inkjet printing of a commercial silver nano-particle ink on paper and plastic substrates has been investigated. ...

background: nano-particles are extensively employed in most industries. several studies have been started to explore the probable detrimental effects of nano-particles on human reproduction. however, there is insufficient and controversially evident of effects of silver nano-particles on sperm parameters and other reproductive indices. objective: investigation of the effects of silver nano-part...

statement of the problem addition of metallic nano-particles to composite resins can change their water contact angle purpose the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of addition of nano-particles of silver and zinc oxide to composite resins on their water contact angle materials and methods this in vitro study was performed on 60 composite resin samples. nano-silver and nano-zinc oxide...

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...

Understanding the surface structure of metal nanocrystals with specific facet indices is important due to its impact on controlling nanocrystal shape and functionality. However, this is particularly challenging for halide-adsorbed nanocrystals due to the difficulty in analysing interactions between metals and light halides (for example, chloride). Here we uncover the surface structures of chlor...

in this study, the effect of nano-silver (ag) treatment on the drying rate and final moisture gradient of poplar wood was investigated. poplar (populous nigra) boards with green dimensions of 100×70×50 and 20 mm were treated with nano-silver (ag) suspension by spraying and immersion method. two concentrations of nano-silver suspension, including 20 and 100 ppm were used. then, the boards were c...

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...
