The synthesis of silver nanoparticles with controlled physicochemical properties is essential for governing their intended functionalities and safety profiles. However, process involves multiple parameters that could influence the resulting properties. This challenge be addressed development predictive models forecast endpoints based on key parameters. In this study, we manually extracted synthesis-related data from literature leveraged various machine learning algorithms. Data extraction...
Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are among the most widely used metal-based nanomaterials (NMs) and their applications in different products, also as antibacterial additives, increasing. In present manuscript, according to an adverse outcome pathway (AOP) approach, we tested two safe-by-design (SbD) newly developed Ag NPs coated with hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), namely AgHEC powder solution. These novel were compared reference (naked polyvinylpyrrolidone-PVP). Cell viability, inflammatory...
A new class of bio-nano hybrid catalyst useable in downstream wastewater treatment was developed. We combined the sorption potentialities Chlorella vulgaris microalgae with photocatalytic properties TiO2 NPs order to investigate unexplored synergistic effects that could push algal remediation technology toward a more promising cost-effective balance. exploited non-living C. vulgaris, which keeps biosorption living microalgae, but greatly enhancing overall processability. biomass coupled and...
Abstract The development of multifunctional catalysts is a necessary step to effectively carry out one‐pot cascade reactions, such as that from furfural γ‐valerolactone. This research effort faces the challenge posed by intrinsic limit how many kinds catalytic sites single material can bear. In this work, application Spray‐Freeze Drying (SFD) synthetic technique for preparation wide range innovative composite multi‐functional reported. Herein we show proper combination Aquivion highly active...
Re-designing existing nano-silver technologies to optimize efficacy and sustainability has a tangible impact on preventing infections limiting the spread of pathogenic microorganisms. Advancements in manufacturing processes could lead more cost-effective scalable production methods, making nano-silver-based antimicrobial products accessible various applications, such as medical devices, textiles, water purification systems. In this paper, we present new, versatile, eco-friendly one-pot...
<ns3:p>Background Silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) are used increasingly in consumer and healthcare fabrics due to their antimicrobial properties. Abrasive leaching experiments have shown that AgNPs can be released during textile wear cause a dermal exposure. Derived-no-effect-limit value for ranges from 0.01 0.0375 mg/kg-body-weight, thus, low exposures levels relevant risk. Methods In this study AgNP release textiles by artificial sweat immersion mechanical stress was investigated. A mass...
