Silver and copper nanoparticles by the pulsed plasma in liquid and their

antibacterial properties

Emil Omurzak

Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University, Kyrgyzstan

O

ne of the most important properties of silver

nanoparticles is their antimicrobial action against

several bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Surprisingly, nano Ag

are safe and non-toxic to human and animal cells at low

concentrations because the possible toxicity of silver

nanoparticles to the environment is considered extremely

low as compared to other materials.

Silver and coppr nanoparticles were prepared by using

pulsed plasma in liquid method. This is a low voltage

pulsed spark discharge in a dielectric liquid. The electrodes

of about 2 mm in diameter and about 10 mm in length

made of pure silver rods were submerged in a 50 ml pyrex

beaker filled with deionized water and plasma (200 V, 50 A

(peak), 10 μs) was generated between the silver electrodes

for about 15 min. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), Cetyl

trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), Sodium n-Dodecyl

Sulphate (SDS) were used as a stabilizing agents.

The XRD spectra of the prepared samples indicated the

face-centered cubic crystalline structure of metallic silver

nanoparticles. Spherically shaped silver nanoparticles of

diameter 2.2 ± 0.8 nm were synthesized by the pulsed

plasma in aqueous solution with PVP surfactant. Similarly,

silver nanoparticles of diameter 1.9 ± 0.4 nm size were

obtained with SDS surfactant.

In vitro

antibacterial

properties of all the synthesized silver nanoparticles

against the Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli were

examined by Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion susceptibility

method. It was noticed that the stabilized with SDS

silver nanoparticles demonstrated a better antibacterial

activity against bacterial strains as compared to the silver

nanoparticles stabilized with PVP, CTAB.
