The present study demonstrates a green process for the synthesis of spherical-shaped and stabilized silver nanoparticles Ag NPs using gamma irradiated conditions. This method has certain advantages over conventional methods since it can manage the particle size and structure and generates totally reduced and extremely pure nanoparticles free from by-products or chemical reducing agents. Silver nanoparticles composite (Ag NPs / CM) is prepared from an aqueous solution of silver nitrate, chitosan and isopropanol, at room temperature using gamma irradiation doses to induce reduction and cross-linking to formation in situ Ag NPs/ CM-chitosan-isopropanol solutions. The production and homogenous distribution of silver nanoparticles in the hydrogel matrix were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, XRD, Zeta potential and UV-Vis spectrophotometer analysis. The silver/ CM-chitosan-isopropanol matrixes possessed different gamma doses using a Co- 60 gamma source. Through the comprehensive results of IR- Ag NPs /(CM- chitosan isopropanol solutions due to antibacterial activity test, the results show the prepared Ag NPs /CM-chitosan-isopropanol could be used as an antibacterial agent. The obtained Ag nanoparticles were stable for over 3 months at room temperature. the analysis outcomes indicate that the colloidal Solution (silver nanoparticles / (CM chitosan - isopropanol)) has a promising ability to be used in antibacterial applications in the future.
In this paper we demonstrate physical method (Gamma irradiation technique) for synthesizing Ag-NPs when there is no reduction agent or heat treatment as useful in antimicrobial applications and medical devices. As a strong support, stabilizer, and silver precursor, Chitosan (CS) and AgNO3 were utilized. Ag/Cs characteristics were investigated as a function of gamma dose and -irradiation periods in recent published paper. For conducting the research in Ag-CS-Isopropanol (IPA) by gamma Irradiation method, here we used UV-vis spectroscopy for examining energy gap and Plasmon resonance of surface (SPR) of the produced silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs). Manufactured Ag-NP UV-vis spectroscopy revealed as the gamma dose increased, the highest wavelength intensity of the plasmon peaks rose. and with energy gap in rang (2.1-2.4) eV. The effect of Ag/CS-APA solutions has examined due on human blood properties and antibacterial activity to water samples selected from local riverbank in Iraq. Overall, the optical characteristic of Ag-CS-APA nanocomposite solution make them promising material for optical thin films and as antibacterial agent in health sector.
