Functionalizing nanoparticles with biological molecules: developing chemistries that facilitate nanotechnology.

Silver nanoparticles (NPs) have been the subjects of researchers because of their unique properties (e.g., size and shape depending optical, antimicrobial, and electrical properties). A variety of preparation techniques have been reported for the synthesis of silver NPs; notable examples include, laser ablation, gamma irradiation, electron irradiation, chemical reduction, photochemical methods, microwave processing, and biological synthetic methods. This review presents an overview of silver nanoparticle preparation by physical, chemical, and biological synthesis. The aim of this review article is, therefore, to reflect on the current state and future prospects, especially the potentials and limitations of the above mentioned techniques for industries.

Templated Techniques for the Synthesis and Assembly of Plasmonic Nanostructures

Protein- and peptide-directed syntheses of inorganic materials.

A simple and convenient method for the synthesis of gold, silver and their alloy nanoparticles in a foam matrix using the protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) is reported. BSA is an excellent foaming agent and,by virtue of its zwitterionic character at the protein isoelectric point, may be used to bind to either cationic silver (Ag+) or anionic gold (AuCl4−) ions in the foam. The metal ions in the foam are thereafter reduced in situ to yield silver and gold nanoparticles. The versatility of an amphoteric foaming agent is further demonstrated by the simultaneous binding of Ag+ and AuCl4− ions with zwitterionic BSA leading to the possibility of obtaining Au–Ag alloy nanoparticles in the foam. The BSA molecules coat and stabilize the nanoparticles thus prepared eliminating the necessity of employing an additional stabilizing agent in the experimental recipe.

Synthesis of gold, silver and their alloy nanoparticles using bovine serum albumin as foaming and stabilizing agent

We report in situ synthesis of silver nanoparticles using biosurfactants called sophorolipids as reducing and capping agents. We further study the effect of temperature and the structure of sophorolipid on the size of silver nanoparticles obtained. The silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible, transmission electron microscope (TEM) and light scattering (DLS) analysis techniques.

Synthesis of silver nanoparticles by sophorolipids: Effect of temperature and sophorolipid structure on the size of particles

Sophorolipids are a class of glycolipids that can be obtained from fatty acids by simply treating them with yeast cells (Candida bombicola, ATCC 22214) and glucose. In this letter, we demonstrate the application of sophorolipids obtained from oleic acid as a capping agent for Co nanoparticles. Upon capping the nanoparticle surface, the sugar moiety of these sophorolipids is exposed to the solvent environment, making the nanoparticles stable and water-redispersible.
