Silver has been used also to kill bacteria, for example, by preventing infection in wounds before antibiotics were developed. As with all metals, silver has good electrical and thermal conductivity.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Silver nanoparticles have a large percentage of atoms at the surface and are useful for killing bacteria. Nanoparticles of silver have more silver ions on the surface and are therefore being used as an antimicrobial agent in several ways, including:<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"><o:p></o:p></i></b></p> <ul> <li> <p style="tab-stops: right 67.0pt left 1.0in;" class="style11">As an antimicrobial agent for the treatment of wounds in crystalline form<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"><o:p></o:p></i></b></p> </li> <li> <p style="tab-stops: right 67.0pt left 1.0in;" class="style13"> Embedded in plastic food storage bins to kill bacteria from any food previously stored in the bins<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"><o:p></o:p></i></b></p> </li> <li> <p style="tab-stops: right 67.0pt left 1.0in;" class="style11"> Destroying odors caused by microorganisms in the form of microbes that can’t live around silver ions<o:p></o:p></p> </li> <li> <p style="tab-stops: right 67.0pt left 1.0in;" class="style12">To make a low-cost filter from carbon nanotubes and silver nanowires to kill bacteria in drinking water<o:p></o:p></p> </li> </ul> <p class="style10"><em>Excerpted from Nanotechnology For Dummies (2nd edition), from Wiley Publishing</em></p> <p></p>  </div> </div> <div class="row" style="text-align:center;" > <div class="col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12"> <p><a href="about_us.html" class="auto-style1">About Us</a><span class="auto-style1">     </span> <a href="contact_us.html" class="auto-style1">Contact Us</a><span class="auto-style1">     </span> <a href="link.html" class="auto-style1">Link to Us</a><span class="auto-style1">     </span> <a href="advertising.html" class="auto-style1">Advertise</a><span class="auto-style1">     </span> <a href="terms-of-use.html" class="auto-style1">Terms of Use</a><span class="auto-style1">     </span> <a href="privacy.html" class="auto-style1">Privacy Policy</a><span class="auto-style1">     </span> <a href="sitemap.html" class="auto-style1">Site Map</a></p> </div></div>  <footer class="row"> <div class="col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12"> <p><small>Copyright ©2007 - 2023 Hawk's Perch Technical Writing, LLC - All Rights Reserved</small></p> </footer> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <script async src="un/js/respond.js"></script> <script src="jquery-latest.min.js"></script> <script src="un/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script> </body>  </html>
