Sorption Activity of Silver Nanoparticles

摘要

The absorption activity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on the surface of fibers of natural and artificial origin is estimated. In addition, it is determined that the sorption activity of natural or artificial fibers with respect to silver nanoparticles depends on their size, fabrication method, and properties of the gelling agent. It is found that the highest absorption of silver nanoparticles is observed when using natural silk fibers, which possess a significantly higher activity as compared with an artificial fiber (fluoroex).
