Antibacterial effect of silver nanoparticles and the modeling of bacterial growth kinetics using a modified Gompertz model.

Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1850(2) , 299-306, (2015)

An alternative to conventional antibiotics is needed to fight against emerging multiple drug resistant pathogenic bacteria. In this endeavor, the effect of silver nanoparticle (Ag-NP) has been studied quantitatively on two common pathogenic bacteria Escherich...

Physicochemical properties of gelatin/silver nanoparticle antimicrobial composite films.

Food Chem. 148 , 162-9, (2014)

Active nanocomposite films were prepared by blending aqueous solutions of gelatin with different concentrations of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using a solvent casting method. Formation of silver nanoparticles in the solution and films was confirmed with the ...

Hybrid macroporous gelatin/bioactive-glass/nanosilver scaffolds with controlled degradation behavior and antimicrobial activity for bone tissue engineering.

J. Biomed. Nanotechnol. 10(6) , 911-31, (2014)

A new composition of gelatin/bioactive-glass/silver nanoparticle was synthesized and employed to prepare antibacterial macroporous scaffolds with potential applications in bone tissue engineering. A set of macroporous nanocomposite scaffolds were developed fr...

Electrocatalytic activity of silver nanoparticles modified glassy carbon electrode as amperometric sensor for hydrogen peroxide.

J. Nanosci. Nanotechnol. 13(7) , 4969-74, (2013)

A simple chemical route has been applied for the preparation of quasi-spherical silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) with average diameter of 265 and 8 nm. The as prepared products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microsc...

Biogenic silver nanoparticles with chlorogenic acid as a bioreducing agent.

J. Nanosci. Nanotechnol. 13(8) , 5787-93, (2013)

We report the synthesis of biogenic silver nanoparticles using chlorogenic acid as a bioreducing agent. Chlorogenic acid is a polyphenol compound abundant in coffee. UV-Vis spectra showed the characteristic surface plasmon resonance band at 415 nm, indicating...

Effect of irrigation with Tetraclean on bacterial leakage of obturated root canals.

N. Y. State Dent. J. 80(3) , 39-43, (2014)

The purpose of the study presented here was to evaluate the effect of Tetraclean, Hypoclean, Chlor-XTRA, 2% chlorhexidine and 6% sodium hypochlorite/17% EDTA as a final irrigant on bacterial leakage of the root canal. One hundred and fifty-five extracted huma...

Plasmon-assisted photocurrent generation from silver nanoparticle monolayers combined with porphyrins via their different chain-length alkylcarboxylates.

J. Nanosci. Nanotechnol. 14(6) , 4090-6, (2014)

Three-typed porphyrin derivatives with a different chain-length alkylcarboxylic acid as their peripheral anchor group have been prepared. Anodic photocurrents were observed in a simple system where the porphyrin derivatives were directly anchored on an indium...

The role of the glutamatergic NMDA receptor in nanosilver-evoked neurotoxicity in primary cultures of cerebellar granule cells.

Toxicology 315 , 38-48, (2014)

Nanoparticles are known to enter the vertebrate brain, but little is known about their neurotoxicity. The aim of this study is to investigate mechanisms of the contribution of AgNPs to neuronal cell death using primary cultures of rat cerebellar granule cells...

Influence of silver nano-particles on monomer elution from light-cured composites

Dent. Mater. 27(7) , 631-6, (2011)

Objectives Silver containing materials have been used for years as antimicrobial materials. Silver particles were also added to experimental dental composites to reduce caries. The aim of our study was to show whether silver nanoparticles can lead to higher a...

Optimization of method for zinc analysis in several bee products on renewable mercury film silver based electrode.

Acta Pol. Pharm. 70(6) , 961-5, (2013)

Zinc is an interesting target for detection as it is one of the elements necessary for the proper functioning of the human body, its excess and deficiency can cause several symptoms. Several techniques including electrochemistry have been developed but requir...
