Abstract

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) stabilized by trisodium citrate, glucose and cetyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (CTAC) were synthesized by the reduction of silver nitrate salt in the presence of sodium borohydride (NaBH4). The UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) were employed to investigate the growth, stability, morphology and average size of the AgNPs. The cytotoxicity effects of the silver nanomaterials were investigated using the xCELLigence real time assay on lung epithelial carcinoma cells, A549. The results show that these nanomaterials are not cytotoxic to the cells.
