American Elements Silver Nanoparticles

General DescriptionSilver (Ag) Nanoparticles, nanodots or nanopowder are spherical or flake high surface area metal particles. Nanoscale Silver Particles are typically 1 - 40 nanometers (nm) with specific surface area (SSA) in the 1 – 1 m 2 /g range and also available as flakes with an average particle size of 2-10 micron range with a specific surface area of approximately 1 m 2 /g. Nano Silver Particles are also available in Ultra high purity and high purity and coated and dispersed forms. Applications for silver nanocrystals and flakes include as an anti-microbial, anti-biotic and anti-fungal agent when incorporated in coatings, nanofiber, first aid bandages, plastics, soap and textiles, in treatment of certain viruses, in self cleaning fabrics, as a conductive filler and in nanowire and certain catalyst applications.
