Mechanical and Moisture Resistance Performance of Silver Nanoparticle Reinforced Fish Skin Gelatin Films

Harding H., Ludwick A., Samuel T., Young S., Aglan H., Tuskegee University, US

Films from the biodegradable polymer gelatin have been studied for biomedical applications not only because of the film forming properties of gelatin, but also because of the availability and economical advantages of gelatin. In this [...]

Preparation of Silver Nanoparticles via Ionomer Clusters

Atorngitjawat P., Pipatpanyanugoon K., Faculty of science, Burapha University, TH

Silver nanoparticles can be prepared via the cluster of ionomer templates, which is a simple, fast and economical technique. The lower of acid levels of ionomers provided the smaller size of silver nanoparticles. Furthermore, using [...]

Synthesis and Characterization of Silver Nanoparticle Rings Embedded in Glass

Chen Y., Jaakola J., Ge Y., Säynätjoki A., Tervonen A., Hannula S-P, Honkanen S., Helsinki University of Technology, FI

Ion exchange technique with photolithography-patterned metal mask is used to form silver nanoparticle patterns embedded in glass. Optical transmission measurement is performed to characterize the optical properties of silver nanoparticles. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) of [...]

Single Base Mismatch Determination using DNA – Silver Nanoparticle Conjugates

Thompson D., Faulds K., Smith W.E., Graham D., University of Strathclyde, UK

Modification of oligonucleotides with gold nanoparticles was first reported ten years ago and opened up several new avenues of research as they can be used as a novel nanostructured building material but the conjugate can [...]

Nitrocellulose-Stabilized Silver Nanoparticles as Low Conversion Temperature Precursors for Inkjet-Printed Electronic Circuits

Nguyen B.T., Nguyen M.T., Gautrot J.E., Nguyen B.T., Nguyen M.T., Zhu X.X., Université de Montréal, CA

Liquid-based inkjet printing is considered as a constructive (rather than destructuve) low-cost technique for printed circuit boards fabrication. A convenient way of depositing silver films and lines using inkjet technology is to generate silver nanoparticles [...]

A New Wet Chemical Approach to the Selective Synthesis of Silver Nanowires

Hernandez E.A., Posada B., Irizarry R., Castro M.E., The University of Puerto Rico, US

A new wet chemical approach is presented for the selective synthesis of silver nanowires based on the assembly of silver nanoparticles covered with a bi-functional thiol. The particles are formed spontaneously upon the addition of [...]
