The aim of this work is a comparative analysis of the biocidal efficiency of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) in the colloidal state, in the structure of films and dispersions of SiO₂ and in the composition of textile fabrics, dependent on the method of synthesis, based on literature data and on own researches. Chemical reduction of silver (with borohydrides, hydrogen, hydrazine, etc.) allows one to adjust and control the size and shape of NPs. The shape of the NPs is mostly spherical, what is confirmed by the presence of a band of surface plasmon resonance in absorption spectra and by electron microscopy measurements. To prevent aggregation of NPs obtained by the method of chemical reduction in solution, the optimal ratio of two stabilizers based on surfactants and polymer at their minimum concentration was found, namely NaBH₄ as a reductant and polyvinylpyrrolidone + sodium dodecyl sulfate as binary stabilizer of Ag NPs, with bactericidal activity of 99 % and stability for more than 3 years. Chemical reduction of silver ions was carried out also by the amino acid tryptophan (Trp) which has a dual function – a biocompatible reducing agent and stabilizer of silver NPs while maintaining their shape, size and stability for long-term use.

Effective methods of photochemical synthesis of Ag NPs have been developed in different ways: by UV irradiation of Ag⁺ ions in solution in the presence of solid-state photosensitizer SiO₂ with adsorbed benzophenone (SiO₂/BPh); by UV irradiation of Ag⁺ ions in solution in the presence of the amino acid tryptophan (Trp); on silica surface when Ag/SiO₂ sol-gel films production via irradiation of adsorbed Ag⁺ ions on SiO₂ film (Ag⁺/SiO₂) in the BPh solution. It is shown that when Ag NPs are adsorbed on the surface of highly dispersed SiO₂, the logarithm of the reduction of microorganisms reduces and the time of their deactivation increases.

A cheap and convenient way to modify of cotton textiles with Ag NPs by soft heat treatment of Ag⁺/cotton samples with high (90–95 %) efficiency of destruction of bacteria E. coli, K. pneumoniae, E. aerogenes, P. vulgaris, S. aureus, C. albicans, etc., with saving of biocidal activity after 5 cycles of washing has been developed. The dynamics of silver ions release from the surface of NPs in the structure of textile upon their contact with water for 72 hours and the number of irreversibly bound particles have been studied. The electrical resistance of the tissue is proportional to the quantity of NPs. That is NPs in the structure are in different degrees of binding, a certain part of them is retained (adsorbed) irreversibly, saving bactericidal properties after repeated contacts with water. On the basis of literature analysis it is shown that ecologically safe “green synthesis” is a promising way to silver NPs produce with pronounced bactericidal efficiency, which is becoming more common due to the large resource of cheap plant raw materials.
