Synthesis of agarose-metal/semiconductor nanoparticles having superior bacteriocidal activity and their simple conversio...
Published in Journal of Chemical Sciences
Agarose, a naturally occurring biopolymer is used for the stabilization of metal, semiconductor nanoparticles. Ag and Cu nanoparticles stabilized in agarose matrix show excellent antibacterial activity against E. coli bacteria. The well dispersed metal nanoparticles within the agarose composite films can be readily converted to carbon-metal composi...
