Abstract
The influence of silver nanoparticle morphology on their dissolution kinetics in ultrapure water as well as their biological effect on eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells was examined.
Highlights
Metallic nanoparticles are described as materials at the boundary between atoms and the macroscopic bulk material
Concerning the biological impact of silver nanoparticles, it is well known that colloidal silver has an antimicrobial effect[10,11] that can be explained by damage to the cell membrane and aInorganic Chemistry and Center for Nanointegration Duisburg-Essen (CeNIDE), Universitaetsstr. 5-7, 45117
We present a comprehensive study about the correlation of the morphology of silver nanoparticles with their dissolution kinetics in ultrapure water and their toxicity towards eukaryotic cells and bacteria
Summary
Metallic nanoparticles are described as materials at the boundary between atoms and the macroscopic bulk material. The influence of silver nanoparticle morphology on the dissolution kinetics in ultrapure water as well as the biological effect on eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells was examined.
