In situ synthesis of silver nanoparticles on the surface of PDMS with high antibacterial activity and biosafety toward an implantable medical device

Abstract We developed a straightforward method to fabricate antibacterial silicon films via the in situ synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film. To grow AgNPs attached on the film, AgNP seeds were synthesized through the reduction of silver ions electrostatica...
