Preparation of phosphate samples for oxygen isotope analysis

SERS enhancement dependence on the diameter and aspect ratio of silver-nanowire array fabricated by anodic aluminium oxide template

Stable silver substrate prepared by the nitric acid etching method for a surface-enhanced Raman scattering study

This study investigates the feasibility of a novel nanocomposite (GC/Ag) of a genipin-crosslinked chitosan (GC) film in which was embedded various amounts of Ag nanoparticles for wound-dressing applications In situ UV-vis results revealed that adding chitosan solution did not affect the characteristics of Ag nanoparticles The water uptake ratios and surface hydrophilicity of the GC/Ag nanocomposite were better and the degradation rates slightly lower than those of the pure GC film The presence of Ag nanoparticles enhanced L929 cell attachment and growth Its function as an anti-microbial agent in a GC/Ag nanocomposite was assessed for Ag contents of over 100 ppm In conclusion, silver ions had dual functions--structural reinforcement and provision of antimicrobial properties to a biocompatible polymer
