Cytotoxicity and antibacterial property of titanium alloy coated with silver nanoparticle-containing polyelectrolyte multilayer

Silver nanoparticle (AgNP) was incorporated into dopamine-modified alginate/chitosan (DAL/CHI) polyelectrolyte multilayer to modify the surface of titanium alloy and improve its antibacterial property. Scanning electron microscopy showed that AgNP with the size of 50 nm embedded in DAL/CHI multilayers homogeneously. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis indicated that the nanoparticles were silver (0) with peaks at 368.4 and 374.4 eV, respectively. The formation of silver (0) without the addition of reductants was due to the self-polymerization of dopamine, which can reduce the silver cation into neutral metal. The polyelectrolyte multilayer coating enhanced the wettability of titanium alloy and promoted the fibroblast proliferation significantly, which could be attributed to the excellent biocompatibility of DAL/CHI. Despite the slight fall of L929 cell activity after AgNP incorporation, AgNP-DAL/CHI multilayer inhibited the growth of both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The above results demonstrate that dopamine decoration is a simple and effective way to induce the in-situ formation of AgNP within polyelectrolyte multilayer. Furthermore, the AgNP-containing multilayer considerably enhances the antibacterial activity of titanium alloy. The fabrication of AgNP-DAL/CHI multilayer on the surface of titanium implant might have great potential in orthopedic use.     

Characterization and antibacterial properties of nanoboron powders and nanoboron powder coated textiles

The antibacterial properties of boron-containing compounds are well known although there are limited studies available on the pure boron nanoparticles. In this paper, nanoboron particles are characterized in terms of their particle size, shape, stability and surface charge before and after their application onto textile surfaces to study their impact on bacterial activity. It was observed that the boron nanoparticles are effective in limiting the bacterial growth of both Gram-negative and positive species without requiring any stimulation to initiate the antibacterial action. In addition to the antibacterial functionality evaluation of the free boron nanoparticles, nanoboron coated textiles were also characterized and determined to change the wettability and surface charge of the textiles with a variable antimicrobial response to the different species. Consequently, we propose pure nanoboron as a new anti-bacterial agent that can function without external stimulation.     

Preparation and characterisation of silver nanoparticle coated on cellulose paper: evaluation of their potential as antibacterial water filter

This study investigates the ability of cellulose filter paper coated with silver nanoparticles to remove Escherichia coli from drinking water. The cellulose filter paper was coated with silver nanoparticles by a chemical reduction method using two different ratios of sodium borohydride and silver nitrate. In consideration of drinking-water quality standards and non-carcinogenic health risks, the optimum sodium borohydride:silver nitrate ratio for coating the cellulose filter paper was determined by comparing the silver in the effluent after E. coli removal. For both ratios, 100% E. coli removal was realised. In terms of the silver in the effluent, only the first two lowest concentrations for both ratios of sodium borohydride and silver nitrate were compliant with the drinking-water quality standards, demonstrating hazard quotients (HQs) between 0.084 and 0.484. On the basis of the highest level of E. coli removal with the lowest HQ value, the optimum sodium borohydride:silver nitrate ratio for coating the cellulose filter paper as an antibacterial water filter was 2:1 molar ratio (0.002 M:0.001 M). Silver nanoparticle-coated cellulose filter paper was found to be an inexpensive and easy-to-use emergency antibacterial water filter to generate clean drinking water.     

Synthesis and antibacterial properties of silver nanoparticles

Nanometer sized silver particles were synthesized by inert gas condensation and co-condensation techniques. Both techniques are based on the evaporation of a metal into an inert atmosphere with the subsequent cooling for the nucleation and growth of the nanoparticles. The antibacterial efficiency of the nanoparticles was investigated by introducing the particles into a media containing Escherichia coli. The antibacterial investigations were performed in solution and on petri dishes. The silver nanoparticles were found to exhibit antibacterial effects at low concentrations. The antibacterial properties were related to the total surface area of the nanoparticles. Smaller particles with a larger surface to volume ratio provided a more efficient means for antibacterial activity. The nanoparticles were found to be completely cytotoxic to E. coli for surface concentrations as low as 8 microg of Ag/cm2.     

Negligible particle-specific antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles

For nearly a decade, researchers have debated the mechanisms by which AgNPs exert toxicity to bacteria and other organisms. The most elusive question has been whether the AgNPs exert direct "particle-specific" effects beyond the known antimicrobial activity of released silver ions (Ag(+)). Here, we infer that Ag(+) is the definitive molecular toxicant. We rule out direct particle-specific biological effects by showing the lack of toxicity of AgNPs when synthesized and tested under strictly anaerobic conditions that preclude Ag(0) oxidation and Ag(+) release. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the toxicity of various AgNPs (PEG- or PVP- coated, of three different sizes each) accurately follows the dose-response pattern of E. coli exposed to Ag(+) (added as AgNO(3)). Surprisingly, E. coli survival was stimulated by relatively low (sublethal) concentration of all tested AgNPs and AgNO(3) (at 3-8 μg/L Ag(+), or 12-31% of the minimum lethal concentration (MLC)), suggesting a hormetic response that would be counterproductive to antimicrobial applications. Overall, this work suggests that AgNP morphological properties known to affect antimicrobial activity are indirect effectors that primarily influence Ag(+) release. Accordingly, antibacterial activity could be controlled (and environmental impacts could be mitigated) by modulating Ag(+) release, possibly through manipulation of oxygen availability, particle size, shape, and/or type of coating.     

Characterization of coated particulate fillers

Stearic acid coated samples of porous and non-porous grades of magnesium hydroxide and calcium carbonate have been characterized using diffuse reflectance infra red (DRIFT), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Using DRIFT, the signal due to the reacted coating reached a plateau at a coating level dependent on the filler surface area. XPS showed that coating thickness increased with the amount of coating, slope changes being observed in plots at lower levels of applied coating than those observed by DRIFT. The differences between the measurements for the two techniques is attributed to their different sampling depths. The FTIR having a greater sampling depth probes the internal surface area of the agglomerates present in the porous material, whereas XPS does not. The surface chemistry of the two types of coated filler is compared.     

基于镀银纱线的电加热织物温度场模拟与电热性能

Bio-mechanochemical synthesis of silver nanoparticles with antibacterial activity

By using a bio-mechanochemical approach combining mechanochemistry (ball milling) and green synthesis for the first time, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) with antibacterial activity were successfully synthesized. Concretely, eggshell membrane (ESM) or Origanum vulgare L. plant (ORE) and silver nitrate were used as environmentally friendly reducing agent and Ag precursor, respectively. The whole synthesis took 30?min in the former and 45?min in the latter case. The photon cross-correlation measurements have shown finer character of the product in the case of milling with Origanum. UV–Vis measurements have shown the formation of spherical NPs in both samples. TEM study has revealed that both samples are composites of nanosized silver nanoparticles homogenously dispersed within the organic matrices. It has shown that the size and size distribution of the silver nanoparticles is smaller and more uniform in the case of eggshell membrane matrix implying lower silver mobility within this matrix. The antibacterial activity was higher for the silver nanoparticles synthesized with co-milling with Origanum plant than in the case of milling with eggshell membrane.     

Surface-enhanced spectra on D-gluconic acid coated silver nanoparticles

Coated silver (Ag) colloids synthesized with D-glucose permit the observation of surface-enhanced fluorescence (SEF) and surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) of the rhodamine B (RhB) molecule. The organic coating formed during the synthesis of the Ag nanostructures was identified by its surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectrum as D-gluconic acid. The RhB molecule is used to exemplify the distance dependence of SEF and SERRS on the coated Ag nanostructures. The fluorescence enhancement factor for RhB on D-gluconic acid coated silver nanoparticles was determined experimentally and estimated using a simple model. Further support for the plasmon enhancement is obtained from the fact that the measured fluorescence lifetime of RhB on the silver coated with D-gluconic acid is shorter than that found on a glass surface. A very modest enhancement factor is obtained, as expected for very short distance between RhB and the metal surface. Given the very thin metal-fluorophore separation, estimated from the size of the D-gluconic acid, the energy transfer or fluorescence quenching is still efficient and the SEF enhancement is just overcoming the energy transfer. Therefore, both SEF and SERRS are observed. Notably, the aggregation of coated nanoparticles also increases the enhancement factor for SEF.     

Polyelectrolyte multilayer films containing silver as antibacterial coatings

A facile approach to fabrication of transparent antimicrobial coatings based on polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) is presented. Counterions existing in PEMs were utilized via ion exchange and in situ reduction to incorporate into the films silver ions and nanoparticles, and the antibacterial efficacy of the films against E. coli was assessed by the Kirby-Bauer method. The PEMs containing silver in the ionic form exhibited high activities in short terms, and the antibacterial effects depended on the ionic strength in the polyelectrolyte solutions used for the PEM fabrication. The PEMs loaded with silver nanoparticles showed lower initial bactericidal effects, but remained active after long periods of time, and the antimicrobial performance can be improved by increasing the silver loading through repeating the ion-exchange/reduction cycle for multiple times. The films were transparent in the visible region. Coatings containing multiple antimicrobial agents for possible synergistic effects can be fabricated in a single process using this method.     

Multifunctional silver film with superhydrophobic and antibacterial properties

Material properties are strongly dependent on material structure. The large diversity and complexity of material structures provide significant opportunities to improve the properties of the materials, expanding their applications. Here, we discuss the fabrication of a multifunctional silver film prepared by controlling the nucleation and growth of silver particles. Silver films with high hydrophobicity and antibacterial activity were fabricated by adopting an electrochemical approach. The dependence of the hydrophobic and antibacterial properties on the size and shape of the silver particles was first investigated. Small-sized silver particles exhibited a high antibacterial rate, while a porous silver film composed of dendritic particles showed a significant hydrophobic activity. By regulating the reaction time, current density, and silver salt concentration, a silver film with a contact angle of 150.9° and an antibacterial rate of 54.7% was synthesized. This study demonstrates that finding a compromise between different material structures is a suitable way to fabricate multifunctional devices.

Biofabrication of broad range antibacterial and antibiofilm silver nanoparticles

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were biosynthesized via a green route using ten different plants extracts (GNP1‐ Caryota urens, GNP2‐Pongamia glabra, GNP3‐ Hamelia patens, GNP4‐Thevetia peruviana, GNP5‐Calendula officinalis, GNP6‐Tectona grandis, GNP7‐Ficus petiolaris, GNP8‐ Ficus busking, GNP9‐ Juniper communis, GNP10‐Bauhinia purpurea). AgNPs were tested against drug resistant microbes and their biofilms. These nanoparticles (NPs) were characterised using UV‐vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction and Image J software. Most of the AgNPs were distributed over a range of 1 of 60 nm size. The results indicated that AgNPs were antibacterial in nature without differentiating between resistant or susceptible strains. Moreover, the effect was more prominent on Gram negative bacteria then Gram positive bacteria and fungus. AgNPs inhibited various classes of microbes with different concentration. It was also evident from the results that the origin or nature of extract did not affect the activity of the NPs. Protein and carbohydrate leakage assays confirmed that the cells lysis is one of the main mechanisms for the killing of microbes by green AgNPs. This study suggests that the action of AgNPs on microbial cells resulted into cell lysis and DNA damage. Excellent microbial biofilm inhibition was also seen by these green AgNPs. AgNPs have proved their candidature as a potential antibacterial and antibiofilm agent against MDR microbes.Inspec keywords: silver, nanoparticles, antibacterial activity, nanofabrication, microorganisms, ultraviolet spectra, visible spectra, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectra, X‐ray diffraction, proteins, DNA, nanomedicine, biomedical materials, cellular biophysicsOther keywords: biofabrication, broad range antibacterial nanoparticles, antibiofilm silver nanoparticles, plant extract contribution, drug resistant microbes, UV‐vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, Image J software, resistant strains, susceptible strains, Gram positive bacteria, fungus, protein leakage assays, carbohydrate leakage assays, cell lysis, DNA damage, Ag

Green synthesized silver nanoparticle from Allium ampeloprasum aqueous extract: Characterization,antioxidant activities,antibacterial and cytotoxicity effects

In the current study for the first time, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were biosynthesized by reducing agents from hot water extract of Allium ampeloprasum, an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory edible plant. UV–vis. spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, X-ray diffractometric, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses have been applied to confirm the formation of biosynthesized AgNPs. Total phenol content and antioxidant activities of AgNPs and extract together with their antibacterial and cytotoxic properties, were evaluated. According to TEM, AgNPs were spherical with a diameter of 8–50 nm. Total phenolic compounds were 15.58 μg/mL, and 10.94 μg/mL at a concentration of 150 μg/mL for the A. ampeloprasum extract and the biosynthesized AgNPs, respectively. Biosynthesized AgNPs showed significant antioxidant activity (81%) as compared to A. ampeloprasum extract (32%) and were active on multi-drug resistant P. aeruginosa. Besides, the cytotoxic activity response was also demonstrated that AgNPs were more potent than the A. ampeloprasum extract and showed high activity against Hela cell line with an IC₅₀ value of less than 25 µg/mL. In conclusion, AgNPs synthesized by A. ampeloprasum extract with excellent antioxidant and antibacterial effects and acceptable cytotoxicity on cervical cancer cells have the potential to be used in biological applications.     

Preparation and antibacterial properties of hybrid-zirconia films with silver nanoparticles

The antimicrobial effect of incorporating silver nanoparticles (AgNps) into zirconia matrix–polyether glycol was studied. AgNps of 4–6 nm in size were synthesized using the inverse micelles method, and different doses of metallic nanoparticles were incorporated into zirconia–polyether glycol mixtures during the ageing procedure. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) of the modified hybrid film showed a homogenous distribution of 20–80 nm diameter AgNps, indicating agglomeration of these structures during film modification; such agglomerations were greater when increasing the dosage of the colloidal system. The AgNps-hybrid films showed higher antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria than for Gram-negative bacteria. Hybrid films prepared with dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate (AOT) stabilized AgNps presented enhanced antibacterial activity compared to that obtained through the addition of a high AgNO₃ concentration (0.3 wt%).
