Silver transport in CVD silicon carbide
… diffusion couple experiments were used to study silver transport through and release from CVD silicon carbide. Results of these experiments show that silver does not migrate via classical diffusion in silicon carbide. Silver release is, however, likely dominated by vapor transport through cracks …

The development of novel electroanalytical interfaces for point of care diagnostics
… focussing largely on electrochemical techniques. Silver-thiol interactions were studied as a route to assist the sample processing. Here a novel controlled silver release mechanism was assessed. Silver release was found to be dependent upon the thiol structure. This has possible future …

Investigation into the surface modification of Ti-6Al-4V to facilitate antimicrobial ionic silver integration for use in implantable orthopaedic devices
… the implant surface by free-swimming bacteria. Silver has a relatively low toxicity level of 28 mg/kg in the body. Current research has focussed mainly on reducing bio-inertness and improving the antimicrobial properties of titanium via the incorporation of silver. In general, the studies …

Liposome-loaded biosynthetic bacterial cellulose hydrogels for wound management applications
… materials with wound healing properties. Silver has long been used as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent in creams and dressings for the purpose of wound healing over many years, however its tendency to cause skin irritation has limited its use. In comparison with traditional drug …
