Silver/poly(vinyl alcohol)/chitosan/graphene hydrogels – Synthesis, biological and physicochemical properties and silver release kinetics
Katarina Nešović,Ana Janković,Vesna Kojić,Maja Vukašinović-Sekulić,Aleksandra A. Perić-Grujić,Kyong Yop Rhee,Vesna Mišković-Stanković,Vesna Mišković-Stanković +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the synthesis of novel silver/polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan/graphene (Ag/PVA/CHI/Gr) nanocomposite hydrogels by in situ electrochemical reduction of silver ions in the hydrogel matrix and their thorough characterization by UV-visible and Raman spectroscopies, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and silver release measurements.

Antimicrobial sodium alginate dressing immobilized with polydopamine-silver composite nanospheres
Limei Liang,Limei Liang,Tingting Hou,Qianqian Ouyang,Lei Xie,Saiyi Zhong,Puwang Li,Sidong Li,Chengpeng Li +8 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper used polydopamine/silver composite nanospheres (PDA/AgNSs) to finish the oxidized sodium alginate (OSA) sponge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conducting chitosan/hydroxylethyl cellulose/polyaniline bionanocomposites hydrogel based on graphene oxide doped with Ag-NPs
TL;DR: The presence of both chitosan and cellulose improves the biodegradation of the fabricated bionanocomposites, which is increased by adding GO, and the incorporation of 5% GO@Ag-NPs in hydrogels enhances dc-conductivity by about 25 times.

Developing biocompatible silver nanoparticles using epigallocatechin gallate for dental use.
Iris Xiaoxue Yin,Ollie Yiru Yu,Irene Shuping Zhao,May Lei Mei,Quan-Li Li,Jinyao Tang,Chun Hung Chu +6 more
TL;DR: This study developed biocompatible AgNPs which inhibited the growth of a cariogenic biofilm and was revealed with lowest level of acidic acid and polysaccharides production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salvadora persica mediated synthesis of silver nanoparticles and their antimicrobial efficacy.
TL;DR: A quicker, simpler, and environmentally benign process to synthesize AgNPs by using an aqueous ‘root extract’ of Salvadora persica (Sp) plant as a reducing agent is reported, which showed significantly higher antimicrobial efficacy compared to earlier reported studies.

The bactericidal effect of silver nanoparticles
Jose Ruben Morones,Jose Luis Elechiguerra,A. Camacho,Katherine B. Holt,Juan B. Kouri,Jose Tapia Ramirez,Miguel Jose Yacaman +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the bactericidal properties of the nanoparticles are size dependent, since the only nanoparticles that present a direct interaction with the bacteria preferentially have a diameter of approximately 1-10 nm.
