Effect of Calcination on Microstructure and Antibacterial Activity of Silver-Containing Silica Coatings

2010-05-01
Silver nanoparticle containing silica coatings on soda-lime glass were prepared by the sol-gel process The effect of thermal densification treatment at different temperatures in the range of 100-700 degrees C on microstructure and antibacterial properties of the coatings were examined The structural characterization of the coatings was performed by using scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, UV-visible and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and atomic force microscope (AFM) The antibacterial activity of the coatings was determined against Staphylococcus aureus by disk diffusion method The mechanisms for formation and distribution of silver nanoparticles in the silica matrix with respect to the calcination temperature are discussed, and the correlation between the microstructural properties and antibacterial activity is described The investigations revealed that silver nanoparticles were mainly in the metallic state during thermal treatments AFM and XPS examinations proved that silver accumulated on the surface diffuse into glass substrate at higher calcination temperatures A high level of antibacterial activity was observed for the coatings calcined at 300 degrees C or lower temperatures allowing accommodation of silver on the surface of the coating Silver diffusion into bulk via ion-exchange with sodium and calcium ions from glass substrate during calcination at higher temperatures (500 or 700 degrees C) resulted in apparent degradation in the antibacterial activity (C) 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc J Biomed Mater Res Part B Appl Biomater 93B 448-458, 2010

A mechanism for the enhanced attachment and proliferation of fibroblasts on anodized 316L stainless steel with nano-pit arrays
Ni, Siyu; Sun, Linlin; Ercan, Batur; Liu, Luting; Ziemer, Katherine; Webster, Thomas J. (Wiley, 2014-08-01)
In this study, 316L stainless steel with tunable nanometer pit sizes (0, 25, 50, and 60 nm) were fabricated by an anodization procedure in an ethylene glycol electrolyte solution containing 5 vol % perchloric acid. The surface morphology and elemental composition of the 316L stainless steel were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The nano-pit arrays on all of the 316L stainless steel samples were in a regular arrang...
Fabrication of functionalized citrus pectin/silk fibroin scaffolds for skin tissue engineering
Türkkan, Sibel; Atila, Deniz; Akdağ, Akın; Tezcaner, Ayşen (Wiley, 2018-10-01)
In this study, novel porous three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds from silk fibroin (SF) and functionalized (amidated and oxidized) citrus pectin (PEC) were developed for skin tissue engineering applications. Crosslinking was achieved by Schiff's reaction in borax presence as crosslinking coordinating agent and CaCl2 addition. After freeze-drying and methanol treatment, plasma treatment (10 W, 3 min) was applied to remove surface skin layer formed on scaffolds. 3D matrices had high porosity (83%) and interconnec...
Effect of solvent refractive index on the surface plasmon resonance nanoparticle optical absorption
Ertaş, Gülay (American Scientific Publishers, 2007-12-01)
Optical properties of plasmon coupled silver and gold nanoparticles were studied as a function of the refractive index of the surrounding medium. Our studies confirmed that the effect of changes in the refractive index of the surrounding medium was more difficult to demonstrate from an experimental point of view, because of the very high susceptibility of nanoparticles to aggregate in aqueous and organic solvents. Whereas the position of the absorption bands of triiodide in these solvents shows a clear depe...
Effect of magnetic field and gamma irradiation on the electrical properties and structure of the Tl-based ceramic superconductors
Ozkan, H; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Kayed, T (IOP Publishing, 2000-02-01)
The voltage-current (V-I) characteristics, critical temperatures and the critical currents of Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 (Tl-2212) and Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3O10 (Tl-2223) ceramic superconductors were studied in magnetic fields up to 80 mT after several gamma irradiations up to 100 MR. The effect of gamma irradiation on the structure of these materials has also been studied. The normal state resistance increases by 20-30% with gamma irradiation, most of the changes taking place in low gamma doses up to 10 MR. The critical temperat...
Effect of kaolin addition on alkali capture capability during combustion of olive residue
Batır, Özge; Selçuk, Nevin; Külah, Görkem (2019-01-02)
The effect of kaolin addition on the combustion characteristics of olive residue was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) combined with Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer in parallel with ash characteristics were studied by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyzer. The experiments were carried out by burning olive residue with 2%, 4% and 8% by wt. kaolin at 900 degrees C. Results indicate that the addition of kaolin led to a decrease in the rate of weight loss du...
