Abstract
- Composites of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) containing silver nanoparticles were prepared using in situ synthesis of nanoparticles. Structure and properties of these composites were investigated using UV-Vis spectroscopy, XRD, DSC, SEM and AFM. The studies show that PVA can reduce the 3 to yield silver nanoparticles and in the process forms bonds with PVA chains. The anti-bacterial properties of these films were studied by qualitative as well as quantitative methods which gave the values of 98% for gram positive and 89% for gram negative bacteria.
