The synthesis of monodisperse silver nanoparticles with plant extracts

Nano-Modified Titanium Implant Materials: A Way Toward Improved Antibacterial Properties

“…On the one hand, NPs can be obtained from the atomic level and then integrated into the desired materials. The methods of this kind of synthesis include self assembly ( Zhang et al, 2019b ; Deng et al, 2020 ), laser pyrolysis ( Laurent et al, 2010 ; Dumitrache et al, 2019 ), condensation ( Sano et al, 2020 ), CVD ( Gutés et al, 2012 ; Tyurikova et al, 2020 ), sol-gel method ( Gonçalves, 2018 ), soft lithography ( Fu et al, 2018 ), hydrothermal methods ( Zhen et al, 2019 ; Moreira et al, 2020 ), microwave methods ( Henam et al, 2019 ), sonochemical ( Gupta and Srivastava, 2019 ; Moreira et al, 2020 ), synthesis using plant extracts ( Ogunyemi et al, 2019 ; Ranoszek-Soliwoda et al, 2019 ), and green synthesis ( Gour and Jain, 2019 ; Irshad et al, 2020 ). On the other hand, macroscopic level materials can be trimmed down to NPs by different methods, including mechanical grinding ( Sviridov et al, 2017 ; Haque et al, 2018 ), ball milling ( Li Y. et al, 2020 ), lithography ( Fu et al, 2018 ), vapor deposition ( Choi et al, 2018 ), arc-plasma deposition ( Ito et al, 2012 ; Takahashi et al, 2015 ), ion beam technique ( Heo and Gwag, 2014 ; Yang J. et al, 2018 ), severe plastic deformation ( Cui et al, 2018 ; Sarkari Khorrami et al, 2019 ), chemical etching ( Wareing et al, 2017 ; Pinna et al, 2020 ), sputtering ( Pišlová et al, 2020 ), and laser ablation ( Pandey et al, 2014 ; Abid et al, 2020 ).…”

Effects of extraction solvent/technique on the antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of spring saffron (Crocus vernus (L.) Hill)

“…[15] Herbal extracts are known for their antihyperglycemic, antioxidative, antimutagenic, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antibacterial properties. [16]…”

Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles (AuNPs) Using Ricinus communis Leaf Ethanol Extract, Their Characterization, and Biological Applications

“…Phytochemicals, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, glycosides, and phenylpropanoids, present in plant extracts have been employed in these environmentally benign means of NP preparation. Plant extracts have latent biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antimutagenic, or antihyperglycemic activities, and these properties may also manifest themselves in the biotic functions of the subsequent colloidal nanoparticle solution; therefore, plant extracts can be used in medicinal applications [18,19]. Numerous research findings have demonstrated that NPs ameliorated with natural products display biological activities [19].…”

Numerous research findings have demonstrated that NPs ameliorated with natural products display biological activities [19]. Bioactive compounds in the plant extract take part in the reduction of metal ions that further function as capping agents for NPs and have shown bacteriostatic properties against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains [20].…”
