"Silver nanoparticles were covalently coated on a glass surface by overnight exposure of the glass substrate to nanoparticle solutions, using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) as a coupling agent. Washing and air-drying yield a uniformly coated glass substrate, which can be used as a material capable of killing harmful microorganisms in food industry," researchers in Jinan, People's Republic of China report.

"Nanoparticles are stable on the glass surface and are not washed away by water; they even remain on the glass surface under short-term ultrasonic irradiation. The morphology of silver nanoparticles on the glass substrate was characterized by scanning ...
