Triangular Silver Nanoparticles Synthesis: Investigating Potential Application in Materials and Biosensing

Cover Image for Triangular Silver Nanoparticles Synthesis: Investigating Potential Application in Materials and Biosensing

In this study, triangular silver nanoplates (TSNPs) were incorporated into biopolymer blends: bacterial cellulose (BC) with polylactic acid (PLA), polycaprolactone (PCL), and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB). TSNPs incorporated into biopolymer blends, particularly BC/PHB blends, showed significant antimicrobial activity against bacterial strains, compared to blends with other polymers such as PCL and PLA, as well as electric field enhancement. The synthesis method used in this study resulted in a highly concentrated TSNP solution, which is desirable for incorporating TSNPs into polymer processing.
