Characteristics of Ag Nanoparticles in Vehicles for Biological Applications
Original language description
Silver nanoperticles (AGNPs) have been used for decades as anti-bacterial agents in cosmetics, health industry, food storage, textile coatings and a number of environmental applications, although their toxicity is not clear yet. Antimicrobial and catalytic activity of AgNPs is dependent on their size as well as their structure, shape, size distribution, and chemical-physical environment. Their unique properties require novel or modified toxicological methods for evaluation of their toxic potential combined with robust analytical methods for their characterization when administered in vehicles relevant to foreseen biological applications, e.g. culture medium with/without serum (DMEM) and phosphate buffered saline (PBS). This project was focused on derermination of AgNPs size using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and digital light scattering (DLS). The results revealed that both the methods are capable of describing the particle size and distribution of the studied AgNPs. Though t
