Silver nanoparticles modified by gelatin with extraordinary pH stability and long-term antibacterial activity.

The potential for application of any nanoparticles, including silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), is strongly dependent on their stability against aggregation. Therefore, improvement of this parameter is a key task, especially in the case of AgNPs, because a correlation between size and biological activit...
