Silver Nanoparticles Technology in Fast-Moving Segments

Introduction

Silver nanoparticles are being adopted across fast-moving segments like antimicrobial coatings, conductive inks, and smart textiles. These particles offer high surface area, enhanced conductivity, and potent antimicrobial activity, making them valuable in healthcare, consumer goods, and electronic applications.

Post-COVID, demand for surface disinfection and antimicrobial protection in public spaces gave a major boost to silver nanoparticle use in sprays, masks, and surface coatings. Simultaneously, advances in nanoparticle synthesis are enabling broader use in printed electronics and flexible circuits.
