Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles, Study of Structure, Properties and Applications in the Treatment of Wounds

Abstract

Silver nanoparticles are used in many areas of medicine as part of antibacterial and wound-healing ointments and preparations. Research objectives: study the synthesis of silver nanoparticles, structure, properties and applications in the treatment of burn wounds. The synthesis of silver nanoparticles was performed by chemical precipitation. As synthesized silver nanoparticles have a cubic crystalline shape; the average size of nanoparticles is 18 nm. No skin-irritating effect of medicinal cosmetic gel containing silver nanoparticles was detected.
