Chemical synthesis and characterization of chitosan/silver nanocomposites films and their potential antibacterial activity

This study provides the optimum preparation parameters for functional chitosan silver nanocomposite (CSN) films with promising antibacterial efficacy though prepared with very low silver nitrate (AgNO3) concentration. Chitosan nano‑silver composites were fabricated by In-situ chemical method utilizing the reducing ability of sodium borohydride (NaBH4) and afterward casted into films. Utilization of response surface methodology, NCSS, and...
