Antimycotic nail polish based on humic acid-coated silver nanoparticles for ony...
Dantas, Ketheleen N. M.; Andrade, Lucas R.; Lisboa, Erika; Santana, Victoria L.; Dos Santos, André L. S.; Mello, Thaís P.; Sangenito, Leandro S.Background: The objective of this work has been the development of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) coated with humic acid (HA) and their incorporation into an enamel for antifungal activity. AgNPs were synthesized by chemical reduction using sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as a reducing agent and coated with HA. Uncoated AgNPs were synthesized as control. AgNPs and HAAgNPs were characterized by ultravioletvisible spect...
Silver nanoparticles obtained from Brazilian pepper extracts with synergistic a...
Oliveira, Daniele M. de; Menezes, Diego B.; Andrade, Lucas R.; Lima, Felipe da C.; Hollanda, Luciana; Zielinska, Alexandra; Sanchez-Lopez, ElenaThe synthesis of silver nanoparticles using plant extracts is known as a green approach, as it does not require the use of high pressure, energy, high temperature, or toxic chemicals. The approach makes use of plant extracts in a process called bioreduction, which is mediated by enzymes, proteins, amino acids, and metabolites found in bark, seed, and leaf extracts, transforming silver ions into metallic silver....
