Article Synopsis
- Tilia sp. bract leachate was successfully used to create stable gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) for use in breaking down harmful nerve agents like soman.
- The characterization of these Au NPs showed they had a consistent quasi-spherical shape and maintained stability over five weeks, confirmed through various measurements like electron microscopy and spectroscopy.
- The gold nanoparticles effectively degraded soman to non-toxic byproducts within 24 hours, highlighting the promise of using bio-nanotechnology for developing catalysts to neutralize dangerous chemicals.
Polymer-metal based material with unique 3D structure is an attractive substrate for the development of biomedical applications. A novel preparation of the composite from polymer fibres and silver nanoparticles has been designed through: (1) preparation of silver nanoparticles by phytosynthesis and (2) incorporation of these nanoparticles in a fibrous membrane prepared by electrospinning. The nanoparticle biosynthesis was performed in a pure environmental-friendly, easy, static, bottom-up in vitro regime using Tilia sp.

The main aims are simulation experiments of mathematical modelling of these processes. During lyophilization of rapid frozen liquid dispersion of nanoparticles, a self-organization of nanoparticles occurs.
