Highly conductive and transient tracks based on silver flakes and a polyvinyl pyrrolidone composite.

ABSTRACT: Transient electronics have been widely researched to solve the electronic waste (E-waste) issue. Although various transient materials and devices have been reported, the fabrication technique for transient conductors always uses expensive sputtering or evaporation processes. In this study, a silver flake (AgF) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) composite is prepared for conductive and transient tracks. The AgF/PVP composite tracks are highly conductive with a resistivity of 8.9 mOhm cm after sintering at 80 °C for only 3 minutes. Impressively, the AgF/PVP tracks disintegrate in water in 3 minutes due to the fast dissolution of the water-soluble PVP. The transient behavior of the AgF/PVP tracks has potential in transient electronics as demonstrated in a light emitting diode (LED) circuit and antenna.

Project description:BackgroundSilver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in biomedicine due to their strong antimicrobial, antifungal, and antiviral activities. Concerns about their possible negative impacts on human and environmental health directed many researchers towards the assessment of the safety and toxicity of AgNPs in both in vitro and in vivo settings. A growing body of scientific information confirms that the biodistribution of AgNPs and their toxic effects vary depending on the particle size, coating, and dose as well as on the route of administration and duration of exposure. This study aimed to clarify the sex-related differences in the outcomes of oral 28 days repeated dose exposure to AgNPs.MethodsWistar rats of both sexes were gavaged daily using low doses (0.1 and 1 mg Ag/kg b.w.) of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-coated small-sized (10 nm) AgNPs. After exposure, blood and organs of all rats were analysed through biodistribution and accumulation of Ag, whereas the state of the liver and kidneys was evaluated by the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT) activity, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), expression of metallothionein (Mt) genes and levels of Mt proteins.ResultsIn all animals, changes in oxidative stress markers and blood parameters were observed indicating the toxicity of AgNPs applied orally even at low doses. Sex-related differences were noticed in all assessed parameters. While female rats eliminated AgNPs from the liver and kidneys more efficiently than males when treated with low doses, the opposite was observed for animals treated with higher doses of AgNPs. Female Wistar rats exposed to 1 mg PVP-coated AgNPs/kg b.w. accumulated two to three times more silver in the blood, liver, kidney and hearth than males, while the accumulation in most organs of digestive tract was more than ten times higher compared to males. Oxidative stress responses in the organs of males, except the liver of males treated with high doses, were less intense than in the organs of females. However, both Mt genes and Mt protein expression were significantly reduced after treatment in the liver and kidneys of males, while they remained unchanged in females.ConclusionsObserved toxicity effects of AgNPs in Wistar rats revealed sex-related differences in response to an oral 28 days repeated exposure.
