In situ synthesis of nano silver/lecithin on wool: Enhancing nanoparticles diffusion

Nanoparticle–Hydrogel Composites: Concept, Design, and Applications of These Promising, Multi‐Functional Materials

“…Ag‐NPs bind non‐specifically to bacterial membranes and other components, inducing structural changes that increase membrane permeability and mitochondrial dysfunction 31. Controlled release of Ag‐NPs is necessary to sustain antimicrobial efficacy.…”

Matrix effect of montmorillonite and MCM-41 matrices on the antibacterial activity of Ag2CO3 nanoparticles

“…In fact, the silver carbonate nanoparticles in MCM-41 matrix were found to be stable against reduction by photons or heat. The mechanisms of nanoparticles antibacterial activity have frequently discussed in the literature, for example of metallic Ag nanoparticles (Barani et al, 2012;Martínez-Gutierrez et al, 2012).…”

“…Usually, nanoparticles show good antibacterial properties arising from their large surface area to volume ratio providing desirable contact with bacterial cell (Barani et al, 2012). In recent years, metal and metal oxide nanoparticles based on silver (Zhou et al, 2011), gold (Giljohann et al, 2010), copper (Luo et al, 2012), copper oxide (Ping et al, 2010), zinc oxide (Li et al, 2006), maghemite (Afkhami and Moosavi, 2010), and magnetite (Wan et al, 2010) have been applied in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and biology.…”

Structures and Properties of Keratin-Based and Related Biological Materials

“…These nanosilver-infused fibers are woven into a variety of fabrics to create antimicrobial and antifungal products which include socks, sportswear, hospital bedding, and a host of related applications. Barani et al (2012) have recently described enhanced diffusion of nanosilver ions into wool fibers and the control of the release rate of the nanosilver particles or ions. Similar infusion processes have been developed for other polymer fibers such as nylon, and nanosilver solution treatment for surface finishing on cotton woven fabric has also been developed.…”
