    2014 World Sterilization Congress of the WFHSS

    There are three main routes—chemical, physical, and biological—being used

    for the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles.

    These methods for the production of copper nanoparticles are appropriate

    for laboratory-scale synthesis but are not economical for a large-scale or

    commercial setup.

    The induction plasma system (Tekna) has been successfully used in the

    synthesis and preparation of advanced materials such as new ceramics,

    nanometric metallic powders, biomaterials powders (by HF-75, Tekna).

    The decline in the biotoxicity level of the

    copper compounds in a series:

    ions → nanoparticles → microparticles

    was observed in good agreement with the

    results of animal studies.

  • Oxidation & Corona

    Because Cu is less chemically stable than Cu(II) and

    Cu(I) oxides; thus, a major problem is the usual

    occurrence of surface oxidation during its synthesis. A

    mixture of metallic Cu, cuprous oxide (Cu2O) or cupric

    oxide (CuO) generally accompanies the production of

    Cu nanopowders.

    Uncontaminated and surfactant-free Metal NPs are

    difficult to obtain. The bacteria will «see» corona

    covering the copper NPs. In fact, the MEM/EBSS or

    RPMI-1640 culture media contains inorganic salts,

    amino acids, vitamins and other components wich could

    «contaminate» these «ultra-pure» NPs.

  • Effects of Surface Chemistry on the Generation of Reactive Oxygen

    Species by Copper Nanoparticles (Miao Shi et al. 2012, ACS Nano, Vol. 6, No. 3, 2157–2164)

    It is essential to develop approaches to control surface chemistry to

    better understand the origins of nanoparticle-induced toxicity, as subtle

    differences in surface properties can dramatically change biological

    responses.

    Shi et al studied the ROS generating capacity of uniform copper

    nanoparticles with different capping ligands to better understand the

    relationship between nanoparticle physicochemical properties and

    their toxicological potential as reflected by ROS generation in an

    acellular assay. Three mercaptocarboxylic acids with different carbon

    chain lengths were used for surface modification as they have been

    shown to provide good colloidal stability for various nanoparticles.

  • Concluding Remarks

    Various studies have revealed that copper NPs can be

    synthesized by chemical, physical, and biological routes.

    The chemical methods are time-consuming and tedious.

    Moreover, some chemical methods include use of

    hazardous chemicals, which may exert adverse effects to

    the user.

    The induction plasma used for nanopowder synthesis has

    many advantages over alternative techniques such as high

    purity, ease of scale-up and ease of operation and control.

    59

    2014 World Sterilization Congress of the WFHSS

  • Moreover, it was shown that the toxicity of nanosized oxides

    (nano CuO) was much high than their bulk counterparts.

    Therefore, development of an efficient approach for

    preventing the oxidation of Cu nanopowders during synthesis

    in an aqueous solution is required urgently.

    Inaccuracies of NO measurement methods in biological

    media (amperometer NO sensor, chemiluminescence

    analyzer --- Significant variations between techniques).

    Further investigation on the stability of the stability of the

    NO-donors became a significant problem in the particle-

    based systems because of the possibility of the release of NO

    before reaching the target site.

    60

    2014 World Sterilization Congress of the WFHSS

  • Due to the growing tolerance of bacteria to antibiotics, metal and metal oxide nanoparticles with antibacterial properties

    represent a promising alternative approach to antibiotics. But

    Al2O3 NPs was found to induce bacterial resistance !!!)

    Nitric oxide-releasing nanoparticles (NO NPs) and metal-

    containing nanoparticles all use multiple mechanisms simul-

    taneously to combat microbes, thereby making development of

    resistance to these nanoparticles unlikely.

  • Schematic illustration of various possible orientations of phage on surface. The bacterial capture

    proteins are marked in green (a) tailed phage can adsorb head-down,tail-down or side-ways, (b)

    icosahedral asymmetric phage, (c) filamentous phage can adsorb via either pole or side-ways, (d)

    filamentous phage are prone to bundling oraggregation (left), efforts to orient them typically focus

    on arranging them parallel on the substrate (right).

  • Effects of Surface Chemistry on the Generation of Reactive Oxygen

    Species by Copper Nanoparticles (Miao Shi et al. 2012, ACS Nano, Vol. 6, No. 3, 2157–2164)

    It is essential to develop approaches to control surface chemistry to better

    understand the origins of nanoparticle-induced toxicity, as subtle differences in

    surface properties can dramatically change biological responses.

    Shi et al studied the ROS generating capacity of uniform copper nanoparticles

    with different capping ligands to better understand the relationship between

    nanoparticle physicochemical properties and their toxicological potential as

    reflected by ROS generation in an acellular assay. Three mercaptocarboxylic

    acids with different carbon chain lengths were used for surface modification as

    they have been shown to provide good colloidal stability for various

    nanoparticles.
