Antibacterial activity of flame-made Ag/SiO2 nanoparticles

Sotiriou G.A., Camenzind A., Meyer A., Panke S., Pratsinis S.E., ETH Zürich, CH

The synthesis of flame made Ag/SiO2 nanoparticles was achieved by flame spray pyrolysis. The precursor selection influence on the final product was studied. The produced powders were characterized by TEM/STEM, XRD, BET, UV/vis. Additionally, the [...]

Inhibitory Effects of Gold and Silver Nanoparticles on RSV Studied by Atomic Force

Boyoglu S., Vig K., Pfendt A., Pillai S., Willing G.A., Singh S.R., Alabama State University, US

Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) causes severe lower respiratory tract infections in infants which may progress to pneumonia. RSV accounts for approximately 4,500 deaths and 90,000 hospitalizations in infants and children in the United States [...]

Treatment of Breast Cancer with Silver Antitumor Drugs Encapsulated in Biodegradable Polymeric Nanoparticles

Youngs J., Youngs W.J., Robishaw N., Panzner M.J., Hindi K., Medvetz D.A., Youngs J., Youngs W.J., Tessier C., Ditto A., Yun Y.H., Bauer J., Lindner D., University of Akron, US

Our research in cancer focuses on the development of silver carbene complexes (SCCs), for use as antitumor agents. We have found that SCCs have significant activity against a variety of cancers in vitro. Furthermore SCCs [...]

Silica-coated Ag nanoparticles by scalable flame technology

Sotiriou G.A., Camenzind A., Pratsinis S.E., ETH Zürich, CH

Silica coated silver nanoparticles have been synthesized in one step, by using flame spray pyrolysis. By controlling the production parameters, different sizes and different coating thicknesses were achieved. The particles were characterized with TEM/STEM, EDX [...]

Novel organic-inorganic nanohybrids based on poly(N,N-dimethyl acrylamide)-l-polyisobutylene amphiphilic polymer conetworks

Mezey P., Domján A., Iván B., Thomann R., Mülhaupt R., Hungarian Academy of Sciences, HU

Poly(N,N-dimethyl acrylamide)-l-polyisobutylene (PDMAAm-l-PIB) amphiphilic conetworks were synthesized. Thermal analysis (DSC), small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements and atomic force microscopy (AFM) investigations were made. Furthermore, we have successfully synthesized silver nanoparticles in the PDMAAm-l-PIB amphiphilic [...]
