  • METHOD FOR CONTROLLING TOXICITY OF METALLIC PARTICLE AND LOW-TOXICITY COMPOSITE OF METALLIC NANOPARTICLE AND INORGANIC CLAY
    Publication number: 20120288553
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for controlling toxicity of metallic particles and a low-toxicity composite of metallic nanoparticles and inorganic clay. The metallic nanoparticles are effective in preventing infection and in skinning over, and thus suitable for treating scalds/burns. In the composite, the weight ratio of metallic nanoparticles to inorganic clay preferably ranges 0.1/99.9 to 6.0/94.0 in a size of about 5 to 100 nm. Preferably, the metal is silver and the inorganic clay is nano silicate platelets.
    Type: Application
