Journal ArticleDOI

The bactericidal effect of silver nanoparticles

TL;DR: The results indicate that the bactericidal properties of the nanoparticles are size dependent, since the only nanoparticles that present a direct interaction with the bacteria preferentially have a diameter of approximately 1-10 nm.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interaction of silver nanoparticles with HIV-1

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that silver nanoparticles undergo a size-dependent interaction with HIV-1, with nanoparticles exclusively in the range of 1–10 nm attached to the virus.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of twinning in shape evolution of anisotropic noble metal nanostructures

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present several examples of anisotropic noble metal nanocrystals obtained by different methods and the important role of twinning in determining the habit of the final morphology is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Corrosion at the Nanoscale: The Case of Silver Nanowires and Nanoparticles

TL;DR: In this paper, the atmospheric corrosion of silver nanowires and nanoparticles synthesized by the polyol method using poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) as the capping agent by different techniques, including transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
Journal ArticleDOI

Beyond Archimedean solids: Star polyhedral gold nanocrystals

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported star polyhedral gold nanocrystals synthesized by colloidal reduction with ascorbic acid in water at ambient conditions, which correspond to icosahedra and cuboctahedra, two Archimedian solids.
