“…Nanostructured materials have enormous applications potential such as in photoeletronic, magnetic, sensor and biomedical areas (Carrión et al, 2014;Guerrero-Martínez, Barbosa, & PastorizaSantos, 2011;Johnston, 2012, chap. 1;Ng, Mohammad, Leo, & Hilal, 2013;Prakash, Chakrabarty, & Singh, 2013;Rao, Gruenberg, & Geckeler, 2014). In particular, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) present unique optical, thermal and catalytic properties (Cacciotti, Fortunati, Puglia, & Kenny, 2014;Meng, Tang, & Vongehr, 2010;Ravindran, Chandran, & Khan, 2013;Tolaymat et al, 2010;Seekell, Price, & Marinakos, 2012).…”
