Silver nanoparticles used in packaging as antimicrobial agents can seep into dry foods, as demonstrated by testing with polyethylene film wraps containing these particles.

First, the choice of nanoparticles to use in biological experiments ... odour-forming microbial growth — can leach out as silver colloids or ions during washing and may potentially find its ...

Colloidal nanoparticles are particles that operate at the nanoscale, specifically between 1 to 1000 nanometers, suspended in a fluid. These nanoparticles can consist of various materials, such as ...

One disadvantage of nanoparticulate sunscreens is that they tend to clump together, making them difficult to apply. Suggest another disadvantage of these sunscreens. Silver has antibacterial ...
