Enhanced antibacterial activity of bifunctional Fe3O4-Ag core-shell nanostructures (2009, background): “Moreover, silver nanoparticles with sizes up to 10 20 nm are accumulated within living cells, thereby demonstrating an active transport across the membrane [30, 31] and function as a special biocidal agent.”
Distribution, elimination, and toxicity of silver nanoparticles and silver ions in rats after 28-day oral exposure. (2012, background): “toothpaste, washing machines, toys and humidifiers.(1) 4 Also in the food and feed”
Synthesis and antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles with different sizes (2008, background): “released from the surface of Ag nanoparticles are responsible for their antibacterial activity (Morones et al. 2005; Lee et al. 2005; MacKeen et al. 1987; Li et al. 2006; Jeong et al. 2005); for aqueous systems (as the system tested here), the results found by Lok et al.”
