Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A simple one-step chemical reduction method was employed for the synthesis of truncated triangular silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs). The reduction of Ag ions by sodium borohydride was performed in the presence of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) as a stabilizing agent. The synthesized Ag-NPs were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, FT-Raman spectrometer and X-ray diffraction in order to study optical, morphological, compositional, and structural properties. The UV-Vis spectrum showed three plasmon peaks located at 340, 412, and 700 nm, confirmed the anisotropic Ag-NPs. The average edge length of 22 ± 5 nm was observed from TEM images for truncated triangular Ag-NPs. From XRD pattern it was confirmed that the Ag-NPs were polycrystalline in nature, with preferential orientation along (111) lattice plane. The antibacterial susceptibility of Ag-NPs-treated fabrics were tested by Kirby-Bauer disk-diffusion test and American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) test method 100-2004 against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The Ag-NPs treated fabrics showed more pronounced antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria than that of Gram-positive bacteria. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media.
