Silver nanoparticles have attracted extensive research interest because of unusal optical, electronic, and chemical properties which depend on their size, shape,composition, crystallinity, and structure. They have been widely exploited for use as microelectronic materials, antibacterial materials, catalystic materials and sensor materials due to these unique properties.
Silver nanoparticles used in electronic device application are generally prepared by chemical reduction methods.Using these methods, silver nanoparticles with spherical,cubic, wire. amd triangular shapes have been manufactured.
Silver nanopaticles are widely incorporated into wound dressings, and are used as an antiseptic and disinfectant in medical applications and in consumer goods. Silver nanoparticles have a high surface area per unit mass and release a continuous level of silver ions into their environment. The silver ions are bioactive and have broad spectrum antimicrobial properties against a wide range of bacteria. By controlling the size, shape, surface and agglomeration state of the nanoparticles, specific silver ion release profiles can be developed for a given application.
