Synthesis of Tween-Coated Silver Nanoparticles by a Plasma-Chemical Method: Catalytic and Antimicrobial Activities

Stable silver nanoparticles were rapidly synthesized by simple, eco-friendly atmospheric pressure plasma method using non-ionic Tween 80 (polyoxyethylene-(80)-sorbitan monooleate) as capping agent. Influences of Tween 80 concentration on the formation efficiency of silver nanoparticle, their average size and stability have been studied. The synthesized silver nanoparticles had significant antibacterial activity on two strains of Gram bacteria.

Mixed Ligand Complex of Lanthanum(III) and Alizarine-Complexone with Fluoride in Micellar Medium for Spectrophotometric Determination of Total Fluorine

A technique for direct spectrophotometric determination of total fluorine in products for oral hygiene using a mixed ligand complex La(III) and alizarin-complexone with fluoride ion in the presence of a non-ionic surfactant has been developed. A number of complexes of different stoichiometry formed in the system has been found. The La:alizarin-complexone:F- = 1:2:1 complex was shown to be used as an analytical form. The complex in the presence of Tween 80 is characterized by the molar absorptivity ε620 = 11000 mol∙dm-3∙cm-1.
