Abstract

Three new silver nanowire (Ag NW) samples with different diameters and lengths were synthesized by the polyol synthesis method. The diameter and length of Ag NWs 1–3 with high yield and purity were regulated by changing the amount of Fe3+ ions at 140 °C, producing new synthesized methods in designing and obtaining Ag NWs with desired size and morphology. Samples Ag NWs 1–3 were fully characterized by scanning electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction. ELISA was further conducted to measure the release of TNF-α and TGF-β1 from epithelial cells after Ag NWs 1–3 treatment. Then, real time RT-PCR was performed, and the activation of AMPK signaling pathway in epithelial cells was evaluated.
