GLYCERIN BASED SYNTHESIS OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES AND NANOWIRES

摘要

The present invention includes compositions and methods for the production of noble metal nanoparticles and nanowires conjugated to polyols or polymers. The present invention allows the incorporation of noble metal nanoparticles to a wide range of products such as body care products to exploit the biocidal properties of silver nanoparticles against bacteria, viruses and fungi.
