Description

The Chapter 1 of this book describes various methods of synthesis of silver nanoparticles such as chemical methods, physical methods, biological methods and microooven assisted synthsis. The chapter 2 deals with properties of silver nanoparticles such as physical properties, optical properties and Silver and biological properties. Along with properties measuring silver nanoparticle concentration, plasmon resonances of metal nanoparticles, absorption and scattering by silver nanoparticles, silver nanoparticle extinction, scattering, and absorption cross-sections & extension of the local field from the silver nanoparticle surface are also described. Chapter -3 describies silver nano particles products such as: Silver algaecides and disinfectants, silver-mpregnated water filters, silver coated medical devices, silver dressings, silver coated textile fabrics, silver- nanoparticle-embedded antimicrobial paints, antimicrobial surface functionalization of plastic catheters, antimicrobial gel formulation for topical use, antimicrobial packing paper for food preservation, silver-impregnated fabrics etc
