Plasma-liquid synthesis of silver nanoparticles and their antibacterial and antifungal applications

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Silver nanoparticles are synthesized by employing argon atmospheric pressure DC microplasma technique. Specifically, the variation in fructose molar concentration is investigated for its role in the size of nanoparticles. The 2 mM molar concentration of fructose is optimum for the production of silver nanoparticles in the range ‘50 ± 10 nm’. Antibacterial and antifungal action demonstrates that silver nanoparticles with small size and larger surface areas are very effective against bacteria and fungus.
