Abstract:Purpose:
To study the influence of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) on tissue reaction when incorporated into a polymeric matrix of polyacrylic acid-based (Carbopol
®
) gel as a proposal for a new low-cost type of biomaterial that is simple to manufacture for use as an antimicrobial and antioxidative dressing.
Methods:
In-vivo
tests of implantation in the subcutaneous tissue of the back of rats were performed using polyethylene tubes… Show more
