Preparation of Silvered Colloidal Compositions for Nanocosmetic Drugs

Abstract

The article presents the results of obtaining nanosilver aqueous suspensions by electrolysis method with variations in the quality and composition of water, the type, and quantity of modifying additives, as well as the creation of colloidal compositions consisting of silicon dioxide and nanosilver emulsion as a result of mechanochemical treatment of the system. As a modifier of silver nanoparticles, citric acid, glycerin, and ether-cellulose were used, which can form the thinnest layers on the surface of the metal particle, preventing particles from sticking together and precipitating them. It is shown that the use of modifiers in the preparation of a colloidal solution with silver particles and ultrasonic treatment of the system provide an increase and stabilization of the activated state of colloidal systems with silver nanoparticles and silicon dioxide. Obtained under the influence of ultrasonic treatment homogeneous and resistant to delamination soft gel systems containing silver and having antimicrobial activity are promising for the manufacture of drugs for cosmetic purposes.
