University of Kashan Journal of Nanostructures 2251-7871 9 3 2019 07 01 Facile preparation of silver nanoparticles and antibacterial Chitosan-Ag polymeric nanocomposites 396 401 92208 10.22052/JNS.2019.03.001 EN Ziba Sorinezami Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, University of Zabol, Zabol, Iran Davood Ghanbari Department of Science, Arak University of Technology, Arak, Iran Journal Article 2018 02 05 Silver nanostructures as an effective antibacterial materials were synthesized via three various hydrothermal, sono-chemical and microwave methods using water as a green solvent. Then Chitosan-Ag polymer based nanocomposites were made by a fast chemical procedure. The influence of power, temperature and time on the morphology and particle size of the products was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) approved that mono-disperse nanoparticles were achieved using all three procedures. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy confirmed preparation of pure products. The antibacterial behaviour of Chitosan-Ag nanocomposites was evaluated using degradation of E coli bacteria. The results show a nanocomposite with applicable antibacterial performance in burn wounds. <br />Silver nanostructures as an effective antibacterial materials were synthesized via three various hydrothermal, sono-chemical and microwave methods using water as a green solvent.
