The study provides empirical background data, and presents key theories for the existance of silver oxygen complexes. The authors present study data that while not conclusive, demostrate that complex silver and oxygen states can exist in aqueous solutions and that key reactions may help explain the bioactivity of silver colloids.
"Many of the 20–30 nm particles have a substructure with 5–7 nm particles held together by relatively weak bonds. The existence of these latter ‘mobile’, 5 nm, metallic, silver-containing units with some kind of oxide ‘ layers’ or ‘skins’ around them may be a very significant finding in looking for the cause of the bio-activity.
"Water plays a key role in ‘mobilizing’ such smaller Ag clusters, and it may be the mechanism for Becker and Flick’s so-called ‘iontophoresis’ of silver."
