은나노입자는 살균 효과 때문에 농업현장에서 사용되고 있다. 그러나 은나노입자가 토질에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 아직 많은 정보가 없다. 그러므로 비료가 처리 되었을 때 특히 토양에 은나노입자를 처리한 효과에 대한 검증이 반드시 필요하다. 가리계 비료를 모의 실험하기 위해서 토양에 염화가리를 은나노입자와 함께 처리하였다. 은과 염소의 농도는 처리 후 78 내지 84% 그리고 kg 당 3.4 mg 정도 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 그리고 은나노입자와 염화가리를 혼합하였을 때 미생물의 숫자가 증가하였다. 이러한 결과로부터 비료시용은 토양에서 은나노입자의 살생물 효과에 영향을 미친다.

1-decanoic acid와 tri-n-octylphosphine을 분산 안정제로서 사용하고, $NaBH_4$를 환원제로 사용하여 화학적 환원법으로 $AgNO_3$ 수용액으로부터 페이스트용 은 나노입자를 제조하였다. 은 나노입자의 생성, 은 나노입자의 형상 및 크기를 XRD, UV-vis, TEM 및 SEM으로 조사하였다. 합성된 은 나노입자로 페이스트를 제조하여 점도를 측정하였으며, PET 막에 코팅하여 제조된 은 박막의 표면저항을 조사하였다. $NaBH_4/AgNO_3$의 몰비는 1 : 5가 최적으로 나타났고, 최적의 몰비에서 10-200 nm의 잘 분산된 구형에 가까운 은 나노입자를 얻을 수 있었다. 최적의 조건에서 얻은 은 나노입자로 PET 막에 코팅하여 제조한 은 박막의 표면저항은 $41{\mu}{\Omega}/cm^2$의 낮은 값을 나타내었다.

현탁중합에 의한 폴리(메틸 메타크릴레이트)((poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA))/은 미세입자 제조시 사용된 은 나노입자가 중합속도 및 PMMA 미세입자의 형태에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 은 나노입자의 친수성 정도 는 중합속도 및 PMMA/은 미세입자의 형태에 큰 영향을 주었다. 개질된 은 나노입자를 이용하여 중합한 경우에 중합 속도가 약간 증가하였다. 중합온도가 낮음에도 불구하고 85% 이상의 전환율을 가지는 PMMA/은 미세입자를 제조할 수 있었다. 사용된 은 나노입자 표면의 친수성 정도에 따라 중합 후 미세입자의 표면은 볼록한 모양과 오목한 모양의 입자가 제조되었다. 친수성 정도가 감소된 은 나노입자를 이용하여 현탁중합된 미세입자가 안정적인 나노복합체를 형성하였다.

In this study, we investigated the antifungal activity of three different forms of silver nanoparticles against the unidentified ambrosia fungus Raffaelea sp., which has been responsible for the mortality of a large number of oak trees in Korea. Growth of fungi in the presence of silver nanoparticles was significantly inhibited in a dose-dependent manner. We also assessed the effectiveness of combining the different forms of nanoparticles. Microscopic observation revealed that silver nanoparticles caused detrimental effects not only on fungal hyphae but also on conidial germination.

Nanomaterials have been used to create unique devices at the nanoscale level. However, the toxicities of nanomaterials have not been fully tested and the risk of nanomaterials has been raised as an emerging issue in these days. In this study, the cytotoxicity of silver nanoparticles was tested using cultured mouse leydig cells. As results, silver nanoparticles showed cytotoxicity with the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). With the increased level of ROS, intracellular glutathione level was decreased. DNA fragmentation and caspase-3 activation suggested the apoptotic mechanism of cell death in leydig cells treated with silver nanoparticles.

Cysteine capped silver nanoparticles (Cys-AgNPs) have been synthesized by employing electrochemically active biofilm (EAB), $AgNO_3$ as precursor and sodium acetate as electron donor in aqueous solution at $30^{\circ}C$. Cys-AgNPs of 5-10 nm were synthesized and characterized by UV-Vis, FT-IR, XRD and TEM. Capping of the silver nanoparticles with cysteine provides stability to nanoparticles by a thiolate bond between the amino acid and the nanoparticle surface and hydrogen bonding among the Cys-AgNPs. In addition, the antibacterial effects of as-synthesized Cys-AgNPs have been tested against two pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli (O157:H7) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAO1). The results demonstrate that the as-synthesized Cys-AgNPs can proficiently inhibit the growth and multiplication of E. coli and P. aeruginosa.

Poly(vinyl chloride)-g-poly(styrene sulfonic acid) (PVC-g-PSSA) 가지형 공중합체를 합성한 후, 이를 이용하여 $80^{\circ}C$에서 열적으로 환원하여 은 나노입자를 제조하였다. 반응 시간을 바꿈에 따라 다양한 구조의 은 나노입자를 제조하는데 성공하였다. 1시간 정도의 짧은 반응 시간에서는 가지형 공중합체의 미세 상분리 구조를 크게 변화시키지 않고 5 nm 크기의 작은 은 나노입자가 생성되었다. 5시간 정도의 중간 반응 시간에서는 30 내지 50 nm 정도의 크기를 갖는 은 나노입자가 생성되었다. 18시간 정도의 긴 반응 시간에서는, 은입자가 뭉친 허리케인 모양의 은 집합체가 관찰되었다.

In order to prepare high molecular weight poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/silver nanocomposite microspheres, methyl methacrylate was suspension-polymerized in the presence of silver nanoparticles at low temperature with 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) as an initiator. The rate of conversion was increased by increasing the initiator concentration. When silver nanoparticles were added, the rate of polymerization decreased slightly. High monomer conversion (about $85\%$) was obtained in spite of low polymerization temperature of $30^{\circ}C$. Under controlled conditions, PMMA/silver microspheres with various number-average degrees of polymerization (6,000-37,000) were prepared. Morphology studies revealed that except for normal suspension microspheres with a smooth surface, a golf ball-like appearance of the microspheres was observed, due to the migration and aggregation of the hydrophilic silver nanoparticles at the sublayer beneath the microsphere's surface.

Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) was used successfully to control the size and distribution of silver nanoparticles generated on inorganic silica nanofibers. The inorganic nanofibers were electro spun using sol-gel chemistry of silicates, and the diameter of the prepared nanofibers was unaffected by adding up to 7% of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone). The silver ions, in the form of silver nitrate, were introduced into the silica nanofibers and reduced to metallic silver by ultraviolet irradiation with a subsequent thermal treatment. The size of the generated silver particles was decreased dramatically by adding poly(vinyl pyrrolidone). The size of the silver nanoparticles was 73 nm when no poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) was added but 23 nm with the addition of only 1% of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone). The extent of reduction could be checked by determining the concentration of silver ions leached into water from the silica nanofibers. After thermal treatment of the silica nanofibers, more than 99% of the silver remained in the nanofibers, indicating almost complete reduction of the silver ions to silver metal.
