Overview

This research develops an antibacterial coating using PVP-PEG fibers with silver nanoparticles, indicating effectiveness against pathogenic bacteria.

Key Points

  • The aim is to develop an antibacterial coating incorporating silver nanoparticles in PVP-PEG fibers for skin application.
  • Developed an antibacterial coating with PVP and PEG fibers infused with silver nanoparticles.
  • Synthesized silver nanoparticles using PEG as a reducing and stabilizing agent.
  • Studied viscosity, particle size distributions, and ζ-potential of the compositions.
  • Used scanning electron microscopy to confirm fiber formation and elemental analysis for silver incorporation.
  • Silver nanoparticles showed sizes of 50.75 to 58.73 nm with characteristic monomodal distributions.
  • The compositions demonstrated resistance to Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
  • The electrical conductivity increased with AgNO3 concentration, and stability of nanoparticles was indicated by a ζ-potential of ‒15.5 mV.
