“…AgNPs are among the most commonly used nanoparticles, broadly due to their numerous uses. In 2015, the AgNPs market was reported to be $1 billion, which is expected to rise to $3 billion by 2024 [ 20 , 21 ]. Due to the antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic, and antiviral properties, AgNPs are of prime importance in medical applications and were broadly used as an antimicrobial agent before the discovery of antibiotics [ 19 , 22 , 23 ].…”

“…Due to the antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic, and antiviral properties, AgNPs are of prime importance in medical applications and were broadly used as an antimicrobial agent before the discovery of antibiotics [ 19 , 22 , 23 ]. Up until now, AgNPs have been utilized in a diverse range of applications in many fields, with some examples of health (immunity-based food supplements, pharmaceuticals, disinfectants, burn treatment products, and wound healing/dressings, radiotherapy), other biomedical products, optics, biosensing, environmental remediation, food industries, cleaning, water and air disinfection, electronics, textile, packaging, skincare products, detergents, plastics, paints, and even children toys [ 21 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ]. AgNPs have also been used in agriculture as plant growth promoter/fertilizer, fruits ripening and preservation agent, plant disease control fungicide, and insecticide [ 25 , 28 ].…”

“…Therefore, plants exposed to AgNPs are also affected by Ag+ that is more interactive and toxic than the particulate form. Noori, et al [ 21 ] detected both the ionic and particulate forms of silver in leaves of tomatoes ( Lycopersicon esculentum L.) exposed to 10, 20, 30 mg L −1 of 20 nm AgNPs for 7 days via roots. It confirms that AgNPs can be directly taken up by plants and be stored in tissues in the form of particulates.…”

The advancement in nanotechnology has brought numerous benefits for humans in diverse areas including industry, medicine, and agriculture. The demand in the application of nanomaterials can result in the release of these anthropogenic materials into soil and water that can potentially harm the environment by affecting water and soil properties (e.g., soil texture, pH, organic matter, and water content), plants, animals, and subsequently human health. The properties of nanoparticles including their size, surface area, and reactivity affect their fate in the environment and can potentially result in their toxicological effects in the ecosystem and on living organisms. There is extensive research on the application of nano-based materials and the consequences of their release into the environment. However, there is little information about environmentally friendly approaches for removing nanomaterials from the environment. This article provides insight into the application of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), as one of the most commonly used nanomaterials, their toxicological effects, their impacts on plants and microorganisms, and briefly reviews the possibility of remediation of these metabolites using phytotechnology approaches. This article provides invaluable information to better understand the fate of nanomaterials in the environment and strategies in removing them from the environment.

“…The use of nanomaterials in food packaging brings a series of advantages as direct antimicrobial activity, support for other antibacterial agents or sensors to detect food contaminants (mostly metabolic products of bacterial activity), but at the same time there is a need to evaluate the risks implied by the use of metallic and oxide nanoparticles. The nanoparticles interact with bacterial cells and can even inhibit biofilms formation, but at the same time can migrate into food and interact with human cells [ 254 , 255 , 256 , 257 ]. Therefore, before marketing any novel antimicrobial food packaging, a careful study of nanoparticles migration into food and their associated toxicology must be undertaken.…”

This review presents a perspective on the research trends and solutions from recent years in the domain of antimicrobial packaging materials. The antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant activities can be induced by the main polymer used for packaging or by addition of various components from natural agents (bacteriocins, essential oils, natural extracts, etc.) to synthetic agents, both organic and inorganic (Ag, ZnO, TiO2 nanoparticles, synthetic antibiotics etc.). The general trend for the packaging evolution is from the inert and polluting plastic waste to the antimicrobial active, biodegradable or edible, biopolymer film packaging. Like in many domains this transition is an evolution rather than a revolution, and changes are coming in small steps. Changing the public perception and industry focus on the antimicrobial packaging solutions will enhance the shelf life and provide healthier food, thus diminishing the waste of agricultural resources, but will also reduce the plastic pollution generated by humankind as most new polymers used for packaging are from renewable sources and are biodegradable. Polysaccharides (like chitosan, cellulose and derivatives, starch etc.), lipids and proteins (from vegetal or animal origin), and some other specific biopolymers (like polylactic acid or polyvinyl alcohol) have been used as single component or in blends to obtain antimicrobial packaging materials. Where the package’s antimicrobial and antioxidant activities need a larger spectrum or a boost, certain active substances are embedded, encapsulated, coated, grafted into or onto the polymeric film. This review tries to cover the latest updates on the antimicrobial packaging, edible or not, using as support traditional and new polymers, with emphasis on natural compounds.

“…Например, бактерицидные свойства позволяют использовать нанокластеры Ag в качестве ингибиторов роста патогенных микроорганизмов на протезах, катетерах, хирургических инструментах, а также, совместно с различными стабилизаторами поверхности, рассматривать их в качестве возможных заменителей антибиотиков [1]. В сельском хозяйстве наночастицы серебра давно используются в качестве стимуляторов роста и фунгицидов для борьбы с болезнями растений [2]. Кроме того они находят применение при катализе различных химических реакций, в качестве добавки к композиционным волокнам, в оптических сенсорах [3][4][5] и т.д.…”

Частицы серебра размером меньше длины волны видимого света способны в значительной мере поглощать свет вследствие поверхностного плазмонного резонанса, частота и интенсивность которого зависит от формы и структуры наночастиц. То есть контроль строения нанокластеров Ag, широко применяемых в плазмонике, позволяет управлять длинами волн света, которые они рассеивают и поглощают. В данной статье рассматривается вопрос термической стабильности малых кластеров Ag с числом атомов, соответствующих «магическим» числам ГЦК структуры, при начальной аморфной конфигурации кластеров. Показано, что начальная аморфная морфология частиц способна в существенно изменить характер структурообразования нанокластеров Ag: формирование стабильной ГЦК структуры сменяется переходом к Dh - и Ih - конфигурациям. Silver particles smaller than the wavelength of visible light are capable of absorbing light to a large extent due to the surface plasmon resonance, the frequency and intensity of which depend on the shape and structure of nanoparticles. In other words, control of the structure of Ag nanoclusters, widely used in plasmonics, makes it possible to control the wavelengths of light that they scatter and absorb. This article discusses the issue of thermal stability of small Ag clusters with the number of atoms corresponding to the «magic» numbers of the fcc structure, with the initial amorphous configuration of the clusters. It has been shown that the initial amorphous morphology of particles can significantly change the nature of the structure formation of Ag nanoclusters: the formation of a stable fcc structure is replaced by a transition to Dh - and Ih - configurations.
