Compare the physicochemical properties of engineered polymer-functionalized silver nanoparticles and evaluate their biological properties against Porphyromonas gingivalis
Abstract:Background: Nano silver (AgNPs) is a broad-spectrum antibacterial nanomaterial and many polymer-functionalized AgNPs (P-AgNPs) have been developed to optimize the biological properties of AgNPs and some possess good potential for commercial application. However, no horizontal study compares the differences in physicochemical and biological properties among various P-AgNPs, and provides evidence for the selection of polymer and optimization of AgNPs. Methods: Two AgNPs with similar nano-size but opposite surfac… Show more
