Research Interest

Among the nanomaterials, silver nanoparticles (AgNP) are increasingly used. Nanoparticle release of these products during their use or washing introduces AgNP into wastewater, freshwater and seawater. Dissolution of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) is still poorly known in the environment and studies on dissolution generally center in fresh water. This research consists in observing aggregation and dissolution of AgNP with different types of cover, nude, citrate and poly (allyl) amine (PAAm) in different types of water, nanopure water, river water and seawater, and with oxygenation or with a concentration of dissolved oxygen close to the hypoxic level.
