Synthesis of copper nanoparticles
11
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).

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.
