Electrospinning of Ag Nanowires/polyvinyl alcohol hybrid nanofibers for their antibacterial properties

In order to developing a sort of flexible fibrous mats with outstanding and durable antibacterial activates, silver nanowires incorporated into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers were fabricated by electrospun method. Uniform Ag nanowires (NWs) were synthesized through a template-free method of solvothermal combined with polyol process, and then, they were dispersed in PVA solution. At last, Ag NWs embedded in PVA (Ag NWs/PVA) hybrid nanofibrous...
