The mechanism of action and toxicity of silver species have been suggested by numerous
direct observations. However, as far as we are concerned, comprehensive research to …

Incorporation of silver nanowires in conductive adhesives leads to the reduction of resistivity
due to the increased surface area and reduction of contact resistance. However, due to high …

Xanthan gum is a high molecular weight polysaccharide biocompatible to biological
systems, so its products promise high potential in medicine. In this study, we crosslinked …

Since heat generation in electronic devices causes thermal failure, heat dissipation is of
critical importance. Furthermore, deformable devices are subjected to mechanical stress …

The great attention paid to silver nanoparticles is largely related to their antibacterial and
antiviral effects and their possible use as efficient biocidal agents. Silver nanoparticles are …

The dissolution kinetics of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) to Ag+ ions is a critical factor
determining the toxicity of silver nanoparticles. In this work, a solid-contact Ag+-selective …
