Synthesis of monodisperse silver nanoparticles for antibacterial purposes by Adam, Sarah

“…These include: further optimisation of the nanoparticle synthesis procedure so as to produce particles of the desired size and acquire them in powder form, performing a thermodynamic estimation of the equilibrium silver ion concentration as a function of silver nanoparticle size to quantify the effect nanoparticle size will have on bactericidal activity, and using more realistic water conditions for antibacterial efficacy experiments to simulate the environment in which silver nanoparticles will be applied.…”
