Silver Nanoparticles
These particles have antimicrobial properties, meaning they can kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms. They are used in medical devices, wound dressings, and water purification systems.
Advantages:
– Monodisperse without agglomeration and aggregation
– Comprehensive characterization including TEM, UV-Vis, and DLS
– Wide size ranges from 5-200 nm
– Various surface properties: polymer or silica coated, functionalized and conjugated
Spacer between the silver nanoparticle and conjugated ligands
Applications:
– Antibacterial agents
– Metal-Enhanced Fluorescence (MEF)
– Surface Enhance Raman Spectroscopy (SERS)
– Dark Field Microscopy
– Sensor Development
– Diagnostic
– Nanotoxicology research
