2. Using Biosynthesized Silver Nanoparticles to kill Antibiotic Resistant E. Coli.

   17 Apr 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Michael Falck, James Marti, NNCI Nano

   In this lab students will become familiar with biosynthesized silver nanoparticles, or bSNP’s. As part of the lesson, students will learn the potential of using biosynthesized silver nanoparticles for use as antimicrobials against antibiotic-resistant bacteria ...

3. Silver Nanoparticle Socks

   10 Jan 2017 | | Contributor(s):: Pennsylvania State Univeristy, NNCI Nano

   This lab will allow students to use the pure silver nanoparticles they synthesize to create antibacterial socks. They will compare their socks with socks that have been treated with a commercial silver spray, socks that have been treated in a factory, and a control that was not been...
