Silver Nanodots as Novel Nanomaterial for Safe and Healthy Medical Environment
637–641 (2023)

PACS numbers: 81.20.Ym,87.19.xb,87.64.M-,87.80.Qk,87.85.jf,87.85.Rs,89.60.Ec

Today, the introduction of silver nanoparticles in medical products is rampant and, therefore, their toxic release into the environment gives rise to grave environmental issues. Environmental management is the need of the hour. The objective of this study is to create and harvest silver nanodots of sizes less than 20 nm using a simple ingredient like monosaccharide fructose sugar in the lab, to analyse their antimicrobial properties and to find usage by functionalizing them in medical products to enhance their quality. This experimental process following in this study is rapid paced, eco-friendly, toxic free, than the existing conventional methods. These silver nanodots are unique in nature, when it is functionalized with medical products such as textiles and wound dressings. They are found to be toxin free providing a safe and healthy medical environment. Infections are reduced nearly hundred percent due to silver-nanodots’ high antimicrobial potential. The toxic release into the environment is near zero, than the rest nanoparticles used in medical products.

Key words: silver nanodots, fructose, antibacterial activity, medical environment, health issues, safety measures.
