“…There is no doubt that PVP is a successful shape control agent for fcc metals. Li et al tested the effect of varying amounts of PVP on nanoparticle shape formation and found that triangular prisms were more likely to form as the volume of PVP increased [26]. They also proposed a possible mechanism for the growth of plate-shaped silver particles and confirmed that most of the PVP is absorbed in the (111) plane, which promotes the absorption of Ag atoms in the (110) planes and the formation of plate-shaped nanoparticles.…”

The aim of this work was to propose a simple method for synthesizing differently shaped AgNPs and to find a suitable stabilizing/capping agent to ensure the non-toxicity of AgNPs. Using a chemical method, by simply changing the volume of reducing agents, we successfully prepared colloids of differently shaped AgNPs (spherical (~10 nm), triangular (~40 nm), rodlike (~30 nm), and a mixture of these shapes). The nanoparticle sizes and shapes affect the solution color. UV-VIS spectroscopy was used to evaluate the colloidal solutions, and transmission electron microscopy was used to analyze the shape and size of the nanoparticles. To create non-toxic and stable AgNPs, it is necessary to modify the surface properties of the nanoparticles; one possibility is to create a biocompatible layer on the nanoparticle surface. We successfully applied a combination of trisodium citrate and polyvinylpyrrolidone, thereby preventing the release of silver ions, which are responsible for the toxic effects of AgNPs. The synthesized nanoparticles show very low, mostly negligible antibiofilm activity against the green algae Chlorella kessleri. AgNPs were used to prepare polymer-AgNP composite thin layers and fibers. It was proved that AgNPs can influence polymer matrix properties.
