Currently, nano/microparticles are widely used in various fields. Silver particles are one of the most vital of the various particles, due to their unique optical–physical–chemical properties. The developed materials have been proposed for use in various fields such as in biosensors, diagnostics, imaging, catalysts, solar cells, and as antibacterials. Their unique, size-dependent plasmonic properties render the particles superior in biomedical applications. This importance of silver materials led to the first edition of Silver Nano/Microparticles: Modification and Applications, which was successfully published last year with ten outstanding papers. This second edition of the Special Issue also provides original contributions detailing the synthesis, modification, and applications of silver materials. Eleven outstanding papers which describe examples of the most recent advances in silver nano/microparticles are included.

Technology: general issues --- antiviral property --- healthcare workers (HCWs) --- medical application --- microbicidal property --- silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) --- cytotoxicity --- silver nanoparticles --- Candida albicans --- poly(methyl methacrylate) --- dental prostheses --- ultrasensitive detection --- thiram --- internal standard --- gold–silver-alloy-embedded silica nanoparticles --- bamboo --- Ag/TiO2 nanocomposites --- self-sacrificing reduction --- antifungal activity --- cyclophanes --- resorcin[4]arenes --- calix[n]arenes --- thiacalix[n]arenes --- pillar[n]arenes --- self-assembly --- silver nanostructures --- silver islands film --- silver deposition --- metal enhanced luminescence --- silver nanowires --- nanomaterials --- biocompatibility --- AgNP --- peptide array --- biomineralization --- green synthesis --- SIF --- photosynthetic complexes --- biohybrid structures --- MEF --- healthcare workers --- hydroxyl radical --- microbicidal activity --- silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) --- ultraviolet (UV) irradiation --- histamine --- fish --- gold-silver alloy-embedded silica nanoparticles --- surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) --- reliable and sensitive detection --- n/a --- gold-silver-alloy-embedded silica nanoparticles

This book documents the tremendous progress in the use of nanotechnology for a range of bioapplications with the aim of providing students, researchers, technicians, and other professionals with an up-to-date overview of the field. After a general introduction to the surface modifications of nanoparticles required for different biological applications, and to the properties of the modified nanoparticles, a series of chapters describe the state of the art in respect of different types of nanoparticle, including silica nanoparticles, fluorescent nanomaterials, metal nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles, carbon-based nanostructures, and other novel nanomaterials. Detailed information is supplied on methods of preparation, chemical and physical properties, and current and potential applications. The closing chapters discuss lithography methods for the top-down approach to nanoparticle synthesis and the use of spectroscopic studies as a tool for the characterization of each nanoparticle. Future prospects and challenges for the development of further nanomaterials with bioapplications are also covered.
