The tale of
antibacterial behavior of silver is not
contemporary, and it was found out and applied, for example during wars,
for recovery of soldiers' wounds, put a silver coin on it, and then tied
it up, or for keeping the food safe they used silver dishes, they thought
contagious diseases didn't incident in rich areas, because of using silver
dishes.
Scientists
find out different mechanisms for expressing how silver affects on germs.
Just because of these mechanisms, germs can not adopt with silver or being
resistant.
Today, it is
possible for us to produce Nano Silver particles by means of Nano
technology.
Nano Silver
particles give us this possibility that with the least viscosity in ppm,
have the most effective antibacterial behavior.
Between
various mechanisms was found of Nano Silver.2 of them were considered
obviously, as following
Ion mechanism:
In this
mechanism, metal Nano Silver particles gradually, radiate Ag+
ions. These ions during replacement reaction change HS- bands
in micro organism's membrane into AgS- bands, the result of this reaction, are daturation and
wasting the microorganism.
Catalectic
mechanism:
In this
mechanism that is truer about Nano Silver composites.
Semi
conductors, Nano Silver particles were put on Semi conductor
bases, such as Tio2 or Sio2.
In this case,
Semi conductor bases, without need to light power, because of decreasing
electrons speed between capacity layer and conducting layer, atom get to
stability state because of presence of positive cavities and compression
of electrons.
In this case
particle acts like an electro chemical pile and with oxidant O2 atom, O2-
ion with hydrolyze H2O, produce OH+ that both are from active bases (in
active O group)that are from the strongest antigerms agent various
researches were done on kinds of germs regarding to Nano Silver particles
impressing .
Up to now more
than 600 kinds of germs were known such as HIV virus , that were been
taking impression.
Following is
more than 100 kinds of known germs with their reference:
