“…In addition, monodispersed AgNPs are typically subject to particle-particle aggregation because of their small size and large surface area, and these aggregates reduce the effectiveness of AgNPs against microbial pathogens (7). Finally, AgNPs have been shown to have various cytotoxic effects (5,(18)(19)(20), and the release of AgNPs into a water environment could result in human health and ecological problems.Recently, we developed a novel micrometer-sized magnetic hybrid colloid (MHC) decorated with AgNPs of various sizes (21,22). The MHC core can be used to recover the AgNP composites from the environment.…”

c Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are considered to be a potentially useful tool for controlling various pathogens. However, there are concerns about the release of AgNPs into environmental media, as they may generate adverse human health and ecological effects. In this study, we developed and evaluated a novel micrometer-sized magnetic hybrid colloid (MHC) decorated with variously sized AgNPs (AgNP-MHCs). After being applied for disinfection, these particles can be easily recovered from environmental media using their magnetic properties and remain effective for inactivating viral pathogens. We evaluated the efficacy of AgNP-MHCs for inactivating bacteriophage X174, murine norovirus (MNV), and adenovirus serotype 2 (AdV2). These target viruses were exposed to AgNP-MHCs for 1, 3, and 6 h at 25°C and then analyzed by plaque assay and real-time TaqMan PCR. The AgNP-MHCs were exposed to a wide range of pH levels and to tap and surface water to assess their antiviral effects under different environmental conditions. Among the three types of AgNP-MHCs tested, Ag30-MHCs displayed the highest efficacy for inactivating the viruses. The X174 and MNV were reduced by more than 2 log 10 after exposure to 4.6 ؋ 10 9 Ag30-MHCs/ml for 1 h. These results indicated that the AgNP-MHCs could be used to inactivate viral pathogens with minimum chance of potential release into environment. With recent advances in nanotechnology, nanoparticles have been receiving increased attention worldwide in the fields of biotechnology, medicine, and public health (1, 2). Owing to their high surface-to-volume ratio, nano-sized materials, typically ranging from 10 to 500 nm, have unique physicochemical properties compared with those of larger materials (1). The shape and size of nanomaterials can be controlled, and specific functional groups can be conjugated on their surfaces to enable interactions with certain proteins or intracellular uptake (3-5).Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been widely studied as an antimicrobial agent (6). Silver is used in the creation of fine cutlery, for ornamentation, and in therapeutic agents. Silver compounds such as silver sulfadiazine and certain salts have been used as wound care products and as treatments for infectious diseases due to their antimicrobial properties (6, 7). Recent studies have revealed that AgNPs are very effective for inactivating various types of bacteria and viruses (8-11). AgNPs and Ag ϩ ions released from AgNPs interact directly with phosphorus-or sulfur-containing biomolecules, including DNA, RNA, and proteins (12-14). They have also been shown to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), causing membrane damage in microorganisms (15). The size, shape, and concentration of AgNPs are also important factors that affect their antimicrobial capabilities (8,10,13,16,17).Previous studies have also highlighted several problems when AgNPs are used for controlling pathogens in a water environment. First, existing studies on the effectiveness of AgNPs for inactivating viral pathogens in water are limite...

Clusters of superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles encapsulated by thick silica shells (SiO2/cFe3O4) have been recognized as useful only in the role of a magnetically separable supporter. In this report, SiO2/cFe3O4 colloids based on a cFe3O4 core (367 nm) and a series of silica shell thicknesses (24, 47, 91, and 134 nm) were prepared and their charge transfer resistances (Rct) and the redox reactions of Ag+/AgNP on their surfaces were investigated. The Rct values of the SiO2/cFe3O4 series increased linearly as the silica shell thickness increased. The reductive elaboration of Ag+ to AgNPs by formaldehyde on the surfaces in the SiO2/cFe3O4 series was very poorly manageable in the case of the 24 nm shell but readily controllable as the silica thickness increased. The oxidative dissolution of AgNPs to Ag+ was more resistive as the silica shell thickness decreased. The surface plasmon band (ca. 405 nm) in the AgNP‐decorated SiO2/cFe3O4 series was progressively blue‐shifted (ca. 10 nm) as the silica thickness decreased, indicating a higher electron density on the AgNPs on the thinner silica shell. Overall results indicate that the cFe3O4 cores exhibit reductive properties through porous silica up to quite a long distance of over ca. 100 nm.
