Strain specificity in antimicrobial activity of silver and copper nanoparticles. (2008, background): “Silver and copper nanoparticles supported on various suitable materials, such as carbon, polyurethane foam, polymers and sepiolite have also been effectively used for bactericidal applications [13,14,20–22].”
Recent Advances in Antimicrobial Treatments of Textiles (2008, methodology): “For synthetic fibers, silver particles can be incorporated into the polymer before extrusion [36] or before nanofiber formation using electrospinning [37, 38].”
Biological synthesis of copper nanoparticles using plant extract (2011, background): “Silver and copper nanoparticles supported on various suitable materials, such as carbon, polyurethane foam, polymers and sepiolite have also been effectively used for bactericidal applications [20,21,25-27].”
Electrospinning Cellulose and Cellulose Derivatives (2008, methodology): “Silver particles were incorporated on cellulose acetate fibers by including silver nitrate (AgNO3) in the electrospinning dope.(18,23) Subsequent irradiation of the fibers resulted in silver nanoparticles on fiber surfaces.”
