Abstract

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized by bioreduction method using aqueous extracts of Boesenbergia rotunda as reducing and stabilizing agents. Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer was utilized to monitor the qualitative formation of AgNPs. The UV-Vis spectrum showed that the spherical AgNPs with diameter of 20-40 nm were formed. The antifungal activity of synthesized AgNPs was investigated using Candida albicans, which was found that the synthesized AgNPs could be used as effective growth inhibitors. The influence of the incorporation of prepared AgNPs on the thermal properties of the acrylic denture base material was investigated. Glass transition temperature of filled acrylic resins was studied using the dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). The temperature sweeps were performed with tension mode. Thermogravimetry analysis (TGA) was used to examine effect of AgNP concentration and thermocycling (1250, 2500, 5000, and 10000 cycles) on thermal stability of AgNP filled acrylic resin denture base materials. Glass transition temperature (Tg) of the acrylic resins slightly increase with increasing AgNP contents. TGA results indicated that AgNP retarded thermal degradation of acrylic resin denture material, and thermocycling did not affect thermal stability of AgNP filled acrylic resin denture material.
