Synthesis of Ag and Ag–SiO2 nanoparticles by γ-irradiation and their antibacterial and antifungal efficiency against Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and Botrytis cinerea

A review on the application of inorganic nano-structured materials in the modification of textiles: Focus on anti-microbial properties

“…Anti-bacterial efficiency Ag/SiO 2 grafted on wool has been investigated by Wang et al [160]. Oh et al have also prepared Ag/SiO 2 and investigated its antibacterial and antifungal effectiveness [161]. Fu et al have produced multi-layer composite films from heparin/chitosan/nano-silver for bio-medical applications [162].…”

Preparation of high-stable silver nanoparticle dispersion by using sodium alginate as a stabilizer under gamma radiation

“…However, it is difficult to make highly concentrated and stable (long preservation time) silver nanoparticles suitable for real applications. The radiation technique has proven to be a convenient method to prepare size-controllable metal nanoparticles (Sarkany et al, 2005;Shin et al, 2004;Yu et al, 2004;Kang et al, 2006;Liu et al, 2007;Oh et al, 2006), because hydrated electrons generated from water radiolysis are strong reduction species.…”

Nanoplatforms for Plant Pathogenic Fungi Management

“…Since, silver displays various modes of inhibitory action to plant pathogens, it may be used for controlling various plant pathogens in a moderately safer way, compared to synthetic fungicides [5]. Silver nanoparticles have strong potential as an antimycotic activity against fungi of grey mold, Botrytis cinerea [6]. Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion protocol was used to evaluate the communal effect of fluconazole and silver nanoparticles for their antifungal activity against three fungal pathogens, Phoma glomerata, Phoma herbarum, and Fusarium semitectum [7].…”
