AB  - Biocompatible fluorescent nanostructures were prepared by a functionalization of gold nanoparticles with the amino acid tryptophan. The gold-tryptophan bioconjugates were investigated by TEM and HRTEM and various spectroscopy methods (XPS, FTIR, UV-vis and photoluminescence). It was found that the gold nanoparticles, initially 8 nm in diameter, aggregate in the presence of the amino acid. From the XPS and FTIR spectroscopy results, it was concluded that the tryptophan gold interactions mainly take place via indole and carboxyl groups. Although the indole group is involved in the interaction with the gold surfaces, the tryptophan-gold hybrids showed strong fluorescence due to the presence of multilayers of tryptophan. Deep ultra violet (DUV) imaging performed at the SOLEIL synchrotron showed that It is possible to detect these hybrid nanostructures within Escherichia coli cells.

AB  - A procedure for the preparation of ZnO nanocubes in an alginate biopolymer was introduced. The obtained nanocubes were used for the preparation of ZnO/Ag heterostructures. High resolution scanning electron microscopy showed that reduction of silver salts in the presence of nanocubes results in the formation of spherical silver nanoparticles at their edges and vertices. UV-vis and photoluminescence spectroscopy revealed that alginate-ZnO/Ag nanostructures exhibit different optical properties compared to the starting alginate-ZnO system. The surface plasmon resonance peak of the silver nanoparticles dominates the absorption spectra of the ZnO/Ag hybrid particles, while at the same time the Ag nanoparticles quench the ZnO emission. The photocatalytic activity of the ZnO/Ag heterostructure was faster than that of the pure ZnO and further improved with increasing the concentration of silver. Both the alginate-ZnO and alginate-ZnO/Ag nanocomposites showed strong antimicrobial activities against gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria.

AB  - Poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate-co-acrylic acid) polyampholyte copolymers were synthesized by radical polymerization of the co-monomers in different molar ratios (2-1, 1-1 and 1-2). The water solutions of the obtained materials were used as stabilization agents for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. XRD. FTIR and DMA methods were used to study the physical properties of the pure copolymers. It was found that the copolymer is a completely amorphous and inhomogeneous material. The FTIR spectrum was analysed by using literature data and corresponding numerical simulations. TEM analysis showed that the shape of the nanoparticles prepared by reduction of the silver salt in the presence of co-polymers strongly depends on the ratio of DMAEMA and AA co-monomer units. Besides spherical Ag-nanoparticles, reduction in the presence of the polymer with equal molar content of co-monomers also resulted in the formation of nano-plate particles (circular thin plates and thin triangular nanoprisms). The formation of the nano-plate particles was further promoted by heating the mentioned solution at 60 degrees C in air. UV-vis spectroscopy was used to study the change in the surface plasmon resonance behaviour during the growth of the nanoplates. The Ag-nanocomposite thin films of all three co-polymers showed fast antimicrobial activity against the Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans pathogens (more than 99% reduction after 2 h of exposure).

AB  - A silver nanoparticle colloid was prepared by a modified Tollens method using D-glucose as the reduction agent. The obtained nanoparticles were used for the modification of pine, linter and recycled cellulose fibers. Although the silver contents were relatively low (0.05-0.13 wt.%), the cellulose-sheets prepared from the modified fibers show improved mechanical and viscoelastic properties. The tensile index (strength) increased with up to 30% in comparison to the index of the sheets obtained from the untreated fibers. The influence of the nanoparticles on the viscoelastic properties of the cellulose sheets was investigated by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) in the temperature range from -120 to 20 degrees C and with a force frequency of 100Hz. A broad relaxation transition positioned at -80 degrees C was observed in the loss modulus spectrum of all the cellulose sheets, while the Ag-modified sheets exhibited higher storage moduli values in the whole temperature range. The antimicrobial activity tests show that the pine, silver and recycled cellulose fiber sheets with silver nanoparticles can be successfully employed to prevent the viability and growth of the common pathogens Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans.

AB  - Alginate was used as a controlled environment for the growth of ZnO nanoparticles. The formation of nanostructured particles was confirmed by a blue shift in the onset of the optical absorption with respect to bulk ZnO. From the XRD measurements it was found that the obtained ZnO nanoparticles have a hexagonal crystal structure. The emission spectrum of the nanocomposite is dominated by a strong band-to-band recombination, while the emission from the ZnO defect states depended on the preparation conditions. Besides showing the presence of Zn 2p, O is, Na 1s and C 1s core levels, the XPS analysis also showed that the O is spectra can be resolved into two lines that are attributed to the presence of OH groups on the surface of the particles and ZnO, respectively. Antimicrobial tests revealed that the ZnO-alginate nanocomposite exhibits a strong activity against the common pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
