Synthesis of Antibacterial Silver–Poly(ɛ-caprolactone)-Methacrylic Acid Graft Copolymer Nanofibers and Their Evaluation as Potential Wound Dressing

Synthesis of Antibacterial Silver–Poly(ɛ-caprolactone)-Methacrylic Acid Graft Copolymer Nanofibers and Their Evaluation as Potential Wound Dressing

Electrospun polycaprolacyone/polymethacrylic acid graft copolymer nanofibers (PCL/MAA) containing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized for effective wound disinfection. Surface morphology, AgNPs content, water uptake of electrospun PCL/MAA graft copolymer nanofibers without and with AgNPs,...
