“…As well as, NPs (50 nm) or less in size have shown capability to interact with DNA, enzymes, proteins, and cell receptors extracellularly and intracellularly in human cells, which are considered to be hundred to thousand times bigger than these NPs [48] (see Figure 2). For instance, NPs of ≤ 20 nm in diameter have discovered to exit blood vessels and circulate throughout the body [51]. During the last decade, AuNPs were seriously tested for biomedical applications, (such as gene, imaging, and photothermal therapies, and drug delivery) as a result to their novel chemical and optical properties, as well as their stability [52][53][54][55].…”

Nanotechnology is the new field of technological innovation on their application in human biology and medicine. On the other hand, there is an important concern about the potential health and environmental risks, due to exposure to human body of nanoparticles. These nanoparticles led to the appearance in the scientific disciplines such as nanotoxicology and nanomedicine. Nanotoxicology is the study toxicity effects of nanoparticles on human health as well as environment. Nano-particles have been developed for beneficial studies with applications in medical field and devices. Also, nanomedicines have been applied to the sector of molecular biology, tissue culture, bio-materials, genetic engineering, bio and bio-imaging sensors. Actually, nanotechnologies have followed healthcare improvements including potentially revolutionary treatments for cancer, critical diseases and also drug improvements with reduction of side effect. With all these descriptions, the extent of potential impact on human health is still a major concern due to lack of reliable toxicity data of nanoparticles. The main purpose of present literature is providing of better understanding on nanobiotechnology principles and its applications in biomedicine have been discussed as well as to their side effects.

“…Silver nanoparticles have been extensively studied, and they have been used in several applications, including antibacterial products and fuel cells [29,31]. Although the use of silver nanoparticles has shown positive results against pathogenic bacteria, there are concerns about nanoparticle exposure to the environment, largely due to reports of cytotoxic effects [14,15,32,38,44]. Inadequate information about the fate of silver nanoparticles in the environment has often been an obstacle for their use in different products [14,25,40].…”

Characterization of flame coated nanoparticle surfaces with antibacterial properties and the heat-induced embedding in thermoplastic-coated paper

Silver nanoparticles deposited on surfaces can provide an antibacterial effect with potential uses in, for example, healthcare settings. However, release of nanoparticles and their potential exposure to the environment is of concern. The current work demonstrates a continuous synthesis that simultaneously deposits silver nanoparticles onto plastic coated paper surface by utilizing the liquid flame spray (LFS) aerosol process. Heat from LFS is used to soften the thermoplastic paper surface, which enables partial and full embedding of the nanoparticles, thereby improving adhesion. The embedding is confirmed with atomic force and scanning electron microscopy, and the deposited silver amounts are quantified with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results suggest that embedding was more effective in PE-coated paper samples due to the lower glass transition temperature when compared to PET-coated paper samples. The antibacterial properties of the surfaces against E. coli and S. aureus were maintained and confirmed with a previously developed 'Touch-Test Method'. The LFS process has the potential to be used for large-scale manufacturing of antibacterial surfaces with improved nanoparticle adhesion on appropriately chosen thermoplastic surfaces.
