“…These materials exhibit antimicrobial activity and may be considered for applications in wound dressings and for water purification purposes. In this context bacterial cellulose offers several possibilities and the antimicrobial activity of the derived silver nanocomposites has been reported (Pinto et al, 2009).The polysaccharide plays an important role in these materials as stabilizer, preventing the aggregation of the nanoparticles. Moreover, polysaccharide nanocomposites may show a synergistic antibacterial activity and exhibit higher antibacterial activity than their separated components as recently observed for chitosan-silver nanocomposites (Potara et al, 2011).…”

“…The physical and thermal properties of these materials are unique, which predestine them for applications in packaging, electronic devices, and biomedicine. The family of these materials can be substantially widened by the combination with inorganic nanophases, a topic that has also been addressed by our group (Gon ç alves et al 2008(Gon ç alves et al , 2009Pinto et al 2008Pinto et al , 2009Pinto et al , 2012Vilela et al 2010 ). The development of cellulosebased nanocomposites is still a rewarding research field.…”

Abstract:The development of (nano)materials based on the renewable cellulose is a challenge. The present article provides a brief overview of the recent research efforts carried out at the CICECO Laboratory of the University of Aveiro on the development of novel composites based on nanofibrillated plant and bacterial cellulose embedded in natural and synthetic polymeric matrices such as poly(lactic acid), chitosan, starch, and pullulan. These materials have high potential for applications in packaging, paper coating, organic electronics, and biomedical products and devices.

“…The lower concentration of silver nanoparticle from 2 ppm -4 ppm was reported as nontoxic to human cells (HEK 293) and toxic to bacterial cells [46]. Silver nanoparticle can easily loaded within the porous substrates and the silver nanocomposites such as cellulose/Ag nanocomposites [47], Chitosan-silver nanocomposites [48], Silica silver composite [49] etc., are reported for its antibacterial characteristics and used in water treatment system. The Ag-NPs-porous ceramic composite was used as an antibacterial water filter.…”

Abstract:-Nanotechnology is an emerging field with diverse applications in pharmacy, medicine, industries and environments. Among nanosized particles, the inorganic nanoparticles posses unique physical and chemical properties. These nanoparticles and their composites are useful for the wide range of applications. This review aims to provide a consolidated assessment of silver nanoparticle and silver nanocomposites in various fields. Among nanoparticles, silver nanoparticle exhibits antimicrobial activities and prominent in diverse applications. The nanosilver composites by coating of chemical material, agricultural residues, other matrices etc., have been used for the development of new materials that could be conveniently used in house cleaning solutions, fabric cleaners, wound bandages, paints, ornamental glasses, electronics circuits, fridge, washing machines and cosmetics, etc., Similarly, silver nanoparticle can also be functionalized with various groups of commercial adsorbents and agricultural residues to increase their affinity towards target compounds and used as a selective sorbents for metal ions and anions.
