Patterning of polymer nanocomposite resists containing metal nanoparticles by electron beam lithography

Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP)-stabilized silver nanoparticles (NPs) were used as a new nanocomposite resist for electron beam lithography. A nanocomposite resist prepared by reducing silver nitrate in an alcoholic PVP solution was patterned by using a scanning electron microscope equipped with a nanometer pattern generation system. Well-defined negative tone patterns with a good sensitivity of 200 microC/cm2 and a contrast of 2.83 were obtained using the prepared nanocomposite resist. In addition, the changes in the morphology and structure of the resist patterns with a thermal treatment temperature were investigated by a FE-SEM with an EDX. The results revealed that the patterns of Ag NPs were formed through sintering the formed resist patterns at above 300 degrees C.     

Fabrication of silver nanocomposite films impregnated with curcumin for superior antibacterial applications

Silver nanocomposite films are found to be very effective material for anti-bacterial application. In the present work, sodium carboxylmethyl cellulose silver nanocomposite films (SCMC SNCF) were tried for antibacterial applications. To enhance their applicability novel film-silver nanoparticle-curcumin composites have been developed. SCMC SNCF are developed from sodium carboxylmethyl cellulose (SCMC), N,N ¹ -methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) and silver nitrate solution. These films were characterized by FTIR, UV–visible, XRD, TGA, DSC and TEM techniques. The formed silver nanoparticles have an average particle size of ~15 nm as observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Curcumin loading into SCMC SNCF is achieved by diffusion mechanism. The UV–Visible analysis indicated that higher encapsulation of curcumin in the films with higher SCMC content. Further, it was observed that the presence of silver nanoparticles in the films enhanced the encapsulation of curcumin indicating an interaction between them. Moreover, the antibacterial activity showed that the SCMC films generated with silver nanoparticles have a synergistic effect in the antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli). In order improve the healing efficacy as antibacterial agents, curcumin loaded with SCMC SNCFs were developed which showed significant inhibition of E. coli growth than the silver nanoparticles and curcumin alone film. Therefore, the present study clearly provides novel antimicrobial films which are potentially useful in preventing/treating infections.     

Preparation and thermomechanical properties of Ag-PVA nanocomposite films

Metal–polymer hybrid nanocomposites have been prepared from an aqueous solution of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and silver nitrate (AgNO₃). The silver nanoparticles were generated in PVA matrix by the reduction of silver ions with PVA molecule at 60–70 °C over magnetic stirrer. UV–vis analysis, X-ray diffraction studies, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and current–voltage analysis were used to characterize the nanocomposite films prepared. The X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that silver metal is present in face centered cubic (fcc) crystal structure. Average crystallite size of silver nanocrystal is 19 nm, which increases to 22 nm on annealing the film at 150 °C in air. This result is in good agreement with the result obtained from TEM. The UV–vis spectrum shows a single peak at 433 nm, arising from the surface plasmon absorption of silver nanocolloids. This result clearly indicates that silver nanoparticles are embedded in PVA. An improvement of mechanical properties (storage modulus) was also noticed due to a modification of PVA up to 0.5 wt% of silver content. The current–voltage (I–V) characteristic of nanocomposite films shows increase in current drawn with increasing Ag-content in the films.     

Surface characterization of Ag-ITO cermet films prepared by a new sol-gel method

Incorporation of Ag nanocrystal into indium tin oxide films (Ag-ITO) could enhance the conductivity of transparent oxide thus attracts more and more interest. Ag-ITO films were prepared by a modified sol-gel method. The surface structure was investigated by X-ray diffraction, X-ray diffuse scattering, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscope techniques. The results showed that stannous chloride worked well as the reduction agent of silver and ion donor source, resulting in high quality nanocomposite thin films. The embedment of silver nanoparticles decreased the crystallization temperature and inhibited the growth of indium oxide. Ag-ITO films have a hierarchical structure. Furthermore, the nanocomposite films were densified and homogenized through prolonging the thermal duration time. XPS results confirmed that a small amount of silver oxide appeared.

The gel was examined by differential thermal analysis, thermo gravimetric analysis, FTIR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. Antibacterial and bioactive tests on gel glass powders, obtained after a heat treatment of 2 h at 600 degrees C of the dried gel, were carried out. High antimicrobial effects of samples against Escherichia coli and Streptococcus mutans were found. FTIR measurements and SEM micrographs have ascertained the formation of a hydroxyapatite layer on the surface of samples soaked in a simulated body fluid for different times.

Embedded layer of Ag nanoparticles prepared by a combined PECVD/PVD process producing SiOxCy-Ag nanocomposite thin films

Structural properties of SiO(x)C(y)-Ag nanocomposite thin films prepared by a dual process PVD-PECVD in the same reactor have been investigated. The experimental results have demonstrated the influence of a PECVD process carried out at room temperature for the growth of a dielectric matrix on the size and the distribution density of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) deposited beforehand by magnetron sputtering. The plasma during the growth of the encapsulation SiO(x)C(y) layer caused a diffusion of silver from NPs through the SiO(x)C(y) matrix associated with a decrease in the average size of nanoparticles and an increase of their distribution density. Silver diffusion is blocked at a barrier interface to form a buried layer of individual Ag NPs which, for instance, can find plasmonic applications. Silver also diffuses toward the outer surface inducing antibacterial properties. In both cases initial Ag NPs act as reservoirs for multifunctional properties of advanced nanostructured films.     

Polyurethane–silver fibers prepared by infiltration and reduction of silver nitrate

Silver-incorporating polyurethane fibers were prepared by infiltration of silver nitrate on electrospun polyurethane fibers and reduction with sodium borohydride. They were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray system. The Ag nanoparticles prepared by reduction of silver nitrate showed nano-sized crystals of 4–10 nm in diameter. However, larger aggregated Ag particles of 50–200 nm were also found to be dispersed in the polyurethane matrix when Ag particles were formed in electrospun fibers by the infiltration–reduction process of silver nitrate. As a result, infiltration method of silver nitrate into the electrospun fibers was significantly effective to produce silver-incorporating fibers due to a high specific surface area of fibers.     

Surface passivation of CdS/Zn2SiO4 nanocomposites prepared by a wet chemical route

Highly luminescent CdS/Zn2SiO4 nanocrystals were prepared by a wet chemical method. The effect of surface passivation was observed in photoluminescence measurements of CdS nanocrystals embedded in colloidal nanocrystallite or amorphous Zn2SiO4 matrix. The resultant luminescent emission of as-prepared CdS/Zn2SiO4 nanocomposite thin films displays two distinct components. One is attributed to the band-edge emission and the other is due to the surface defects. The effect of aging on CdS/Zn2SiO4 nanocomposite thin films has been investigated, showing the active role of Zn2SiO4 matrix in modifying the surface states.
