Spiky Ag Nanoparticles for Super-Efficient Antibacterial Surface Coatings

银（Ag）纳米粒子在医疗设备、洗衣粉和水处理中的应用越来越受欢迎，这主要是由于耐药细菌（超级细菌）的出现以及由此导致的可用治疗方法有效数量的减少。然而，由于所需的高浓度，包括缺乏可用的农业资源和相关的毒性水平，引起了人们的关注。LIG Biowise的目标是通过开发一种生产尖状纳米颗粒的新方法来降低农业暴露水平。

Silver (Ag) nanoparticles have gained popularity for use in medical devices, washing powdersand water treatments largely due to the emergence of resistant bacteria (superbugs) and theresultant reduction in the effective number of available treatments. However concerns havebeen raised due to the high concentrations required including the lack of available Agresources and associated toxicity levels. LIG Biowise’s aim is to reduce the level of Agexposure by developing a novel method to produce spiky nanoparticles.
