Interaction of Silver Nanoparticles and Chitin Powder with Different Sizes and Surface Structures: The Correlation with Antimicrobial Activities
Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were nm in diameter, and four <5% deacetylated chitins (A, B, C, and D) differing in size of powder and surface structure properties were used in the study. Chitin/Ag NP composites were synthesized by mixing Ag NP suspensions with each chitin powder at room temperat...
