Abstract: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are practically valuable in biological applications. However, no steady PEGylation has been established, which is essential for internal use in humans or animals. In this study, cyclic PEG (c-PEG) without any chemical inhomogeneity is physisorbed onto AgNPs to successfully PEGylate and drastically enhance the dispersion stability against physiological conditions, white light, and high temperature. In contrast, linear HO-PEG-OH and MeO-PEG-OMe do not confer stability to AgNPs, and HS-PEG-OMe, which is often used for gold nanoparticles, sulfidates the surface to considerably degrade the properties. TEM shows an essentially intact nanostructure of c-PEG-physisorbed AgNPs even after heating at 95 degrees C, while complete disturbance is observed for other AgNPs. Molecular weight- and concentration-dependent stabilization by c-PEG is investigated, and DLS and zeta-potential measurements prove the formation of a c-PEG layer on the surface of AgNPs. Furthermore, c-PEG-physisorbed AgNPs exhibit persistent antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity.
