- the nanoparticle composition is non-toxic and free from side effects.
- Nanosilver Antimicrobial activity of nanosilver is very broad against various microorganisms and it is of great significance because of its ability to inhibit the growth or inactivate microorganisms such as fungi, algae, bacteria, yeast and virus.
- UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Field emission- scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) were used to characterize the composite.
- the composite material had shown remarkable stability without aggregation of silver nanoparticles with the nanocellulose functioning as capping agent conformed using the
- the nanocomposite obtained through the use of hydrazine showed optimum growth inhibition against Staphyloccus aureus the ones prepared using sodium borohydride as reducing agent.
- the NaOH treated nanocellulose showed further enhancement in the antibacterial activity of the nanocomposite, which is rather attributed to its higher swelling characteristic, and retention of hydrogel property. It was also noticed that these composites not only inhibit the bacterial growth but also works as bactericidal at very low concentration of silver (110 ⁇ g ml "1 ). Due to its high antibacterial activity, and stabilizing effect of bacterial cellulose matrix, the nanocomposite appears to be promising for its application in biomedical technology, in antimicrobial textile and in food processing industry.
- FIG. 1 shows the UV-visible absorption spectrum of the silver loaded cellulose nanocomposite obtained by using hydrazine and sodium borohydride and the corresponding spectrum for the remaining reducing agents; glucose, ethylene glycol, tri-sodium citrate and hydroxyl ammonium hydrochloride are shown in Fig. 2.
- the bare cellulose does not show any absorption in the UV-visible region and the silver loaded composite shows a strong absorption in the UV-visible region due to surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of silver nanoparticles.
- SPR surface plasmon resonance
- the collective oscillation of free electrons in metallic nanoparticles known as SPR appears in the UV-visible region.
- the position and broadening of SPR depends on the shape, size, and stabilizing agent and on the dielectric constant of the medium.
- the absorption maximum of SPR observed is illustrated in Table 1.
- the observed SPR is red shifted in comparison to their corresponding sol (citrate or borohydride reduced sol) and is attributed to dipole resonance interactions between nanoparticles, a well known phenomena in noble metal nanoparticles.
- Fig. 3a, b and c show the FE-SEM images of the cellulose fibers and silver loaded fibers obtained by using hydrazine and sodium borohydride, respectively.
- the mean diameter of the particles is roughly 82 ⁇ 34 and 100 + 14 nm for hydrazine and sodium borohydride reduced nanocomposite, respectively.
- the image display uniform network structure with the silver nanoparticles is observed to be distributed homogeneously on the cellulose surfaces as individual, nonaggregated particles.
- the images reveal that the particles are strongly adhered to the cellulose fibers. This adherence helps in stabilizing and in immobilizing the silver nanoparticles and thus preventing from agglomeration.
- the surface functional groups of cellulose fiber are the reason for the strong interaction of silver nanoparticles. This is one of the major advantages of the present protocol where other foreign chemicals, surfactant or polymer are not necessary to stabilize silver nanoparticles.
- the images also reveal that the cellulose fibers are not damaged during the synthesis.
- Nanosilver After obtaining the robust nanostructures their practical application in bacterial inhibition is examined.
- the antibacterial activity of nanosilver is mainly attributed to its affinity towards biologically important functional groups such as sulfhydryl amino, imidazole, carboxyl and phosphate groups, which exist mainly in protein such as enzymes.
- Nanosilver is also known to interact with DNA resulting in the formation of pyramidine dimers preventing its replication.
- the antibacterial activity of nanocomposite was considerably higher against the indicator pathogen Staphylococcus aureus as evidenced by the inhibitory zone (Fig. 4).
- the inhibition zone was around 2.6 cm radius in tryptic soya agar in the presence of NaOH treated cellulose.
- the nanocomposites prepared using non-swollen (no alkali treatment involved) was comparatively less inhibitory (2.0 cm radius).
- the antibacterial effect of silver nanocomposite on stationary phase cells of Staphylococcus aureus was investigated using TEM (Fig. 5).
- nanocomposite was shown to lyse the bacterial cells of stationary phase by way of perturbing the bacterial cell wall and consequent entry into the cell protoplasm causing leakage of cell contents and plasmolysis as seen in the TEM images (Fig. 5).
- the amount of silver in 50 ⁇ l composite was calculated to be around 5.4 ⁇ g, which is considerably low and more over a remarkable inhibitory zone was shown in the study in comparison to the earlier investigations.
- nanocomposite will be a suitable antibacterial material for incorporation in to polymers to be made as films to control the growth of microorganisms in areas such as food processing textiles and other health care domains.
- the antibacterial activity of nano composite was remarkable against Staphylococcus aureus where as it was less inhibitory towards E. coli and S. typhi, when tested.
- nanoparticles when formed in a solution are capped by an organic layer and same is the case of the iron oxide nanoparticles as well as iron oxide embedded silver nano particles (see Fig. 6). These nanoparticles show their characteristic UV visible spectra as shown in Fig. 7. Due to the presence of a strong capping agent the surface effects of silver are not similar to pristine silver surface. In the case of nanocomposites of cellulose nano fibers and iron oxide embedded silver nanoparticles, the capping agent is the cellulose nano fibers itself. Since the cellulose fibers do not form a complete cover on silver surface, the silver surface behaves more like pristine silver surface. The cellulose nano fibers also releases the nanoparticles in a controlled fashion into the solution.
- a silver nanocomposite comprising of nanoparticulate bacterial cellulose and nanosilver was prepared in aqueous phase.
- the stabilization of the nanoparticles was achieved by the presence of water-dispersed cellulose particles in the reaction medium.
- the antibacterial activity had matched to a very larger extent with SPR.
- the optimal antibacterial activity was noticed in the composite which was prepared using hydrazine as reductant.
- the nanocomposite had inhibited the S. aureus during the growth process and bacterial cells in their stationery phase.
- the composite materials and the route of synthesis appear to be suitable for application in the preparation of antimicrobial food packaging films, water purification systems, medical dressings, inner textiles. Modifications need to be carried out to incorporate the nanocomposite into polymeric films for their optimum utilization.
- the utility of the material can be widened by exploring additional fictionalization.

Description
NANOPARTICLE COMPOSITION AND PROCESS THEREOF
Field of invention:
The present invention relates to nanoparticle composition comprising cellulose nanofϊbers embedded with nanosized material. More particularly the present invention relates to cellulose nanofibers embedded with silver or iron oxide embedded silver. In addition the present invention is also related to the preparation of the cellulose nanofibers embedded with nanosized material.
Background of the invention and Prior art:
Nanoparticles of silver, MgO, ZnO, Fe3O4, ZnS, CuO and SnO2 have assumed great importance in view of their application in biomedical and bio technology, pollution abatement, biosensor technology and as agents of antimicrobial therapy. Several ways and means have been pioneered in the recent past, particularly, towards the production of nanoparticles of various metals individually and in combination. Nanosilver is fascinating owing to its antimicrobial activity useful in the process of reducing microbial contamination in the field of food processing and hygiene control. In the production of nanoparticles use of less toxic or non-toxic chemicals has always been preferred in the form of reducing agents and stabilizers as chemically green procedures are preferred over conventional synthesis.
Microorganisms cause mild to severe infections in human beings, animals and plants. Among the inorganic antimicrobial agents silver is a well known broad-spectrum agent employed most extensively since ancient times to fight infections caused by bacteria, yeast, fungi as well as virus. Nanosilver is known to inhibit or inactivate microorganisms effectively with lower toxicity to tissue. Due to the large surface area and high reactivity nanosilver is endowed with remarkable antimicrobial property. Because of long lasting biocidalaction nanosilver preparations are currently being used as antimicrobial agents in several industries such as ceramics, paper, plastic and packing films.
Cellulose is a biopolymer mostly produced by plants and micro-organisms, however some marine animals were also shown to produce cellulose. Though wood is the major
source of plant cellulose its separation and purification is a tedious process with the intervention of toxic chemical, hence, its large-scale application in pure form is impracticable. Bacterial cellulose produced by Acetobacter xylinum (Gluconacetobacter xylinus) is an attractive biomaterial with its intrinsic nanostructural hierarchy, its purity, mechanical strength and chemical robustness. This bacterium produces extracellular cellulose under static culture condition in the form of highly reticulated net like structure along with the entrapped bacteria, media components and protein. The whole complex is referred to as pellicle. The cellulose is purified using alkali treatment at boiling temperature. In the present investigation we have attempted to develop a novel antimicrobial composite material comprising of bacterial cellulose and nanosilver. Several researchers have reported the use of plant cellulose in the preparation of antibacterial silver formulations. We report the preparation of silver nanoparticles embedded into nanopafticulate bacterial cellulose as stabilizer for effective inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus. The process is simple and scalable for its real-time applications in various fields such as food packaging and in antimicrobial therapy.

Antimicrobial activity of nanosilver is very broad against various microorganisms and it is of great significance because of its ability to inhibit the growth or inactivate microorganisms such as fungi, algae, bacteria, yeast and virus. In this paper we report the synthesis and anti-bacterial activity of nanosilver stabilized with bacterial nanocellulose matrix. UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Field emission- scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) were used to characterize the composite. The composite material had shown remarkable stability without aggregation of silver nanoparticles with the nanocellulose functioning as capping agent conformed using the
FE-SEM. The antibacterial activity of the nanocomposite was assessed against
Staphyloccus aureus. The nanocomposite obtained through the use of hydrazine showed optimum growth inhibition against Staphyloccus aureus the ones prepared
using sodium borohydride as reducing agent. The NaOH treated nanocellulose showed further enhancement in the antibacterial activity of the nanocomposite, which is rather attributed to its higher swelling characteristic, and retention of hydrogel property. It was also noticed that these composites not only inhibit the bacterial growth but also works as bactericidal at very low concentration of silver (110 μg ml"1). Due to its high antibacterial activity, and stabilizing effect of bacterial cellulose matrix, the nanocomposite appears to be promising for its application in biomedical technology, in antimicrobial textile and in food processing industry.
On addition of silver nitrate to the aqueous cellulose fiber, the fibers are randomly distributed and swelled. Due to the presence of large number of terminal hydrophilic
* hydroxyl -OH groups on the membrane of the cellulose fibers, Ag+ ions get easily deposited on the membrane and subsequently they can be reduced. The reduction of Ag+ in the cellulose silver nitrate aqueous mixture was performed by using a set of reducing agents as illustrated in Table 1.
The use of water as a solvent in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles causes an immediate agglomeration due to the high polarity of water. In the synthesis of nanoparticles stabilizers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), ethylene glycol, various other biopolymers and citrate have been reported. In the present study we employed bacterial cellulose in the form of a nanoparticulate gel. The cellulose was found to protect the nanosilver formed from aggregation or coalescence by steric hindrance. To optimize the concentration as well as the size of the silver nanoparticles, the concentration of Ag+ was kept at 1 mM, since higher concentration results in comparatively larger particles with lower antimicrobial efficacy. We have tested that the inhibition is due to the silver nanoparticles and not because of the presence of residual chemicals such as the by-products of reducing agents. In addition, high concentrations of silver would render toxicity to animal cells. High concentration of silver may also favor aggregation. The pH, which is also a paramount controlling parameter of the nanoparticles size as well as the antibacterial activity, is monitored and listed in Table 1. The synthesized cellulose nanocomposites were found to be stable at least over a period of 3 months in aqueous form at room temperature with no indication of aggregation or discoloration and with no detectable loss of silver nano particles.
The formation of Ag nanoparticles was confirmed by UV-visible absorption spectra and Fe-SEM imaging. Fig. 1 shows the UV-visible absorption spectrum of the silver loaded cellulose nanocomposite obtained by using hydrazine and sodium borohydride and the corresponding spectrum for the remaining reducing agents; glucose, ethylene glycol, tri-sodium citrate and hydroxyl ammonium hydrochloride are shown in Fig. 2. The bare cellulose does not show any absorption in the UV-visible region and the silver loaded composite shows a strong absorption in the UV-visible region due to surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of silver nanoparticles. The collective oscillation of free electrons in metallic nanoparticles known as SPR appears in the UV-visible region. The position and broadening of SPR depends on the shape, size, and stabilizing agent and on the dielectric constant of the medium. The absorption maximum of SPR observed is illustrated in Table 1. The observed SPR is red shifted in comparison to their corresponding sol (citrate or borohydride reduced sol) and is attributed to dipole resonance interactions between nanoparticles, a well known phenomena in noble metal nanoparticles.
Fig. 3a, b and c show the FE-SEM images of the cellulose fibers and silver loaded fibers obtained by using hydrazine and sodium borohydride, respectively. The mean diameter of the particles is roughly 82 ± 34 and 100 + 14 nm for hydrazine and sodium borohydride reduced nanocomposite, respectively. The image display uniform network structure with the silver nanoparticles is observed to be distributed homogeneously on the cellulose surfaces as individual, nonaggregated particles. The images reveal that the particles are strongly adhered to the cellulose fibers. This adherence helps in stabilizing and in immobilizing the silver nanoparticles and thus preventing from agglomeration. The surface functional groups of cellulose fiber are the reason for the strong interaction of silver nanoparticles. This is one of the major advantages of the present protocol where other foreign chemicals, surfactant or polymer are not necessary to stabilize silver nanoparticles. The images also reveal that the cellulose fibers are not damaged during the synthesis.
After obtaining the robust nanostructures their practical application in bacterial inhibition is examined. The antibacterial activity of nanosilver is mainly attributed to its affinity towards biologically important functional groups such as sulfhydryl amino,
imidazole, carboxyl and phosphate groups, which exist mainly in protein such as enzymes. Nanosilver is also known to interact with DNA resulting in the formation of pyramidine dimers preventing its replication.
The antibacterial activity of nanocomposite was considerably higher against the indicator pathogen Staphylococcus aureus as evidenced by the inhibitory zone (Fig. 4). The inhibition zone was around 2.6 cm radius in tryptic soya agar in the presence of NaOH treated cellulose. The nanocomposites prepared using non-swollen (no alkali treatment involved) was comparatively less inhibitory (2.0 cm radius). In addition the antibacterial effect of silver nanocomposite on stationary phase cells of Staphylococcus aureus was investigated using TEM (Fig. 5). Further the nanocomposite was shown to lyse the bacterial cells of stationary phase by way of perturbing the bacterial cell wall and consequent entry into the cell protoplasm causing leakage of cell contents and plasmolysis as seen in the TEM images (Fig. 5). The amount of silver in 50 μl composite was calculated to be around 5.4 μg, which is considerably low and more over a remarkable inhibitory zone was shown in the study in comparison to the earlier investigations. We report the biocidal effect of silver nano-particles during growth and after cessation of growth of the pathogen. It was also found that washing of nano composite with distilled water deprive of its antibacterial activity to a great extent. Based on the data the nanocomposite will be a suitable antibacterial material for incorporation in to polymers to be made as films to control the growth of microorganisms in areas such as food processing textiles and other health care domains. The antibacterial activity of nano composite was remarkable against Staphylococcus aureus where as it was less inhibitory towards E. coli and S. typhi, when tested.
From Table 1 it is evident that the antibacterial activity of the silver nanoparticles is in congruence with the SPR of the composites. The nanoparticles with SPR at the blue end have shown a better antibacterial activity than those with red SPR. The size of the silver nanoparticles showed a linear relationship with SPR and hence smaller particles with larger surface area were found to show better interaction with bacterial surface and thereby bactericidal effect.
Iron oxide embedded silver nanoparticles have the magnetic characteristics of iron oxide and the surface properties of silver nanoparticles. This is a major advantage, since separation of the particle under the influence of magnetic field is possible. Most of these nanoparticles when formed in a solution are capped by an organic layer and same is the case of the iron oxide nanoparticles as well as iron oxide embedded silver nano particles (see Fig. 6). These nanoparticles show their characteristic UV visible spectra as shown in Fig. 7. Due to the presence of a strong capping agent the surface effects of silver are not similar to pristine silver surface. In the case of nanocomposites of cellulose nano fibers and iron oxide embedded silver nanoparticles, the capping agent is the cellulose nano fibers itself. Since the cellulose fibers do not form a complete cover on silver surface, the silver surface behaves more like pristine silver surface. The cellulose nano fibers also releases the nanoparticles in a controlled fashion into the solution. This is true in the case of nanocomposites of cellulose nano fibers and silver nanoparticles. The antibacterial effects of composite of cellulose nano fiber with iron oxide embedded silver nanoparticle is shown in Fig. 8 and is comparable to the pure silver case shown in Fig. 4. The magnetic property of iron oxide embedded silver nanoparticle could be used to remove these nanoparticles from its environment, where it could probably have toxic effects of silver, by applying an external magnetic field.
As a control experiment to show that the reducing agents like hydrazine and sodium borohydrate as well as the cellulose nano fibers do not show any antibacterial activity, we have tested the mixture of these in an antibacterial test culture and the results are displayed in Fig. 9. It is clear that these do not have any effect on the bacterial growth and their presence in the composite will not influence the observed results.
In conclusion a silver nanocomposite comprising of nanoparticulate bacterial cellulose and nanosilver was prepared in aqueous phase. The stabilization of the nanoparticles was achieved by the presence of water-dispersed cellulose particles in the reaction medium. The antibacterial activity had matched to a very larger extent with SPR. The optimal antibacterial activity was noticed in the composite which was prepared using hydrazine as reductant. The nanocomposite had inhibited the S. aureus during the growth process and bacterial cells in their stationery phase. The composite materials
and the route of synthesis appear to be suitable for application in the preparation of antimicrobial food packaging films, water purification systems, medical dressings, inner textiles. Modifications need to be carried out to incorporate the nanocomposite into polymeric films for their optimum utilization. The utility of the material can be widened by exploring additional fictionalization.

Weighed quantities of cellulose sample ~1 % (w/w) is dispersed in ImM aqueous silver nitrate solution in a beaker and sonicated for half an hour. Aqueous solution of the reducing agents ~ 2-5 mM are added drop wise to the cellulose solution. The reactions are carried out at room temperature except in the case of sodium borohydride where ice- cold condition is maintained and in case of D-glucose, tri-sodium citrate and ethylene glycol, the solution is refluxed for an hour. In case of hydroxyl ammonium hydrochloride as reducing agent, 1 mM alkalinity is maintained by adding aqueous NaOH solution.
Silver nanoparticles loading on cellulose papers: In order to load silver nanoparticles on cellulose papers, the paper is soaked in ImM aqueous silver nitrate solution for half an hour, washed with ethanol and water again soaked in ImM aqueous solutions of reducing agent (hydrazanium hydroxide or sodium borohydride) for half an hour. Finally they were washed with ethanol and water and dried in air at room temperature (-22 0C).

In a typical synthetic method 25 ml. of aqueous solution containing 0.4 M Fe2+, 0.8 M Fe3+ and 0.4 M HCl is added drop wise to a moderately heated (~50 0C) 250 ml of aqueous 1.5 M NaOH solution under vigorous non-magnetic stirring. A black precipitate of Fe3O4 is formed immediately. After 15 minutes of stirring the precipitates are allowed to settle down, washed with water and magnetically separated. The precipitates are centrifuged at 6000 rpm and then washed twice with water and redispersed in 500 ml water.
