In the present work very stable colloidal solutions of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were obtained by semicontinuous reduction of AgNO3 in aqueous solutions at low temperatures. The effect of AgNO3 concentration, CMC/AgNO3 ratio, and dosage rate on particle size, shape and antibacterial efficacy of AgNPs was studied. Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS) was performed on a TESCAN FEG SEM MIRA3 LMU.
