“…There are other areas of use for AgNPs that might not require the smallest size possible, such as textile functionalization, paint additives, and orthodontic implants. 3,55,56 It is worth mentioning that biosynthesized AgNPs have been used as paint additives with promising results; 57 in addition, wound healing tests using biosynthesized AgNPs have been carried out with positive results. 58 A statistical comparison between the two methods of biosynthesis was performed by a comparison of means.…”

“…Metallic nanoparticles (NPs) are among the most widely commercialized nanomaterials today, with applications in industries as varied as cosmetics, food packaging, textiles, and so on. [1][2][3] Based on the number of applications, there are four main types of metallic NPs: iron oxide (Fe 2 O 3 ), gold NPs (AuNPs), silver NPs (AgNPs), and selenium NPs (SeNPs). Each of them exhibit unique physicochemical, magnetic, optical, and biological properties that differ from those of the bulk material, such as quantum effects and a higher surface area, granting them increased antimicrobial and catalytic activity in certain cases, such as AgNPs and SeNPs.…”

BackgroundMicroalgae produce metabolites with notable potentialities to act as reducing and capping agents for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in a process widely recognized as an eco-friendly and cheaper alternative for the generation of nanoparticles (NPs).MethodsIn the present work, AgNPs were synthesized using live Botryococcus braunii cultures. Two biosynthesis routes were explored: (1) intracellular and (2) extracellular at pH levels of 6–9 using 1–5 mM silver nitrate concentrations.ResultsThe generation of NPs was confirmed via ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy. The morphological characteristics were observed using scanning electron microscopy which revealed that the newly developed AgNPs were mostly spherical in sizes starting from 168 nm. The characteristic peaks in a typical Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy suggested that the exopolysaccharides were the possible reducing and capping agents. The antimicrobial spectrum of the newly developed AgNPs was tested against bacterial strains, both Gram-negative, Gram-positive, and yeast, ie, Escherichia coli (American Type Culture Collection [ATCC] 25922), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), and the yeast Candida albicans (ATCC 10231), respectively. The antimicrobial activity tests showed a stronger inhibition against Gram-negative bacteria. Statistically, the NPs biosynthesized at pH values of 6 and 8 displayed a higher antimicrobial activity.ConclusionOur findings showed that B. braunii is capable of generating AgNPs with antimicrobial potential.

“…Metal oxide NPs belong to a family of nanomaterials that have been manufactured for both industrial and household applications. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) are highly applicable and among the most commonly used metal NPs [2] . ZnO-NPs are being used as a food additive as well as in food processing and packaging [3] .…”

Back ground: Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) are among the most commonly used metal nanoparticles and are nowadays increasingly used in food. This might increase the chances of their exposure to the human body via the oral route. The heart is an important toxic site for nanoparticles. Aim: The aim of the current study was to investigate the possible histological changes that might accompany the oral administration of two different doses of ZnO-NPs on left ventricular cardiomyocytes of adult albino rats. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight adult male rats were included. The animals were randomly divided into 3 main groups. Group I (Control group). Group II (ZnO-NPs group) was further subdivided randomly into subgroup IIa that were given ZnO-NPs at a dose of 100mg/kg body weight/day. Subgroup IIb received 400 mg/kg body weight/day ZnO-NPs for 28 days. Group III (Withdrawal group), the animals of this group did not receive any treatment for four weeks after the 28 days of treatment. Specimens from the heart apex were processed for microscopic examination. Serum level of oxidative stress and cardiac makers, as well as the morphometric study (for collagen quantification and mitochondrial morphometry), were done. Results: The light and the electron microscopes revealed histological changes in the left ventricular cardiomyocytes. Changes were dose-dependent. Group II revealed some pale stained muscle fibers with pyknotic nuclei. Others showed deeply acidophilic sarcoplasm. The electron microscope examination confirmed these changes and showed focal myolysis and abnormal mitochondria. This was associated with some hyperchromatic nuclei. After withdrawal histological changes were exaggerated. Serum marker of oxidative stress and cardiac markers showed a significant increase. Mitochondrial morphometry demonstrated fragmentation. Conclusion: The study demonstrated that oral ZnO-NPs are associated with variable microscopic changes, which is dosedependent. These changes didn't improve after the withdrawal of the ZnO-NPs administration.

“…Metal oxides-based nanoparticles usually show excellent physicochemical properties due to their higher surface-to-volume ratio. Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ), magnesium oxide (MgO) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles are interesting materials due to their multifunctional properties and cheapness [32][33][34][35].…”

A novel approach toward the production of multifunctional printed technical textiles is reported. Three different metal oxides nanoparticles including titanium dioxide, magnesium oxide, and zinc oxide were prepared and characterized. Both natural wool and synthetic acrylic fibers were pretreated with the prepared metal oxide nanoparticles followed by printing using polylactic acid based paste containing acid or basic dyestuffs. Another route was applied via post-treatment of the targeted fabrics with the metal oxide nanoparticles after running the printing process. The color strength (K/S) and colorfastness properties of pretreated and post-treated printed fabrics were evaluated and compared with untreated printed fabrics. The presence of nanoparticles on a fabric surface during the coating process was found to significantly increase the color strength value of the coated textile substrates. The increased K/S value depended mainly on the nature and concentration of the applied metal oxide, as well as the nature of colorant and fabric. In addition, the applied metal oxide nanoparticles imparted the printed fabrics with good antibacterial activity, high ultraviolet protection, photocatalytic self-cleaning, and improved colorfastness properties. Those results suggest that the applied metal oxide-based nanoparticles could introduce ideal multifunctional prints for garments.
