Green synthesis of tea Ag nanocomposite hydrogels via mint leaf extraction for effective antibacterial activity

Abstract: In this report, we investigated the swelling behavior and antibacterial property of nanosilver composite hydrogels made from tea with polyacrylamide via a free-radical polymerization and green process technique. This is probably for the first time; tea-based nano silver composite hydrogels were developed. The composite hydrogels comprise embedded nano silver particles in the tea hydrogel matrix via a green process with mint leaf extract. The size of the nano silver particles in the hydrogel matrix was found to… Show more

“…The antibacterial activity of SeNPs was performed using the modified disc method (Jayaramudu et al 2013(Jayaramudu et al , 2017. First, Luria-Bertani (LB) medium was prepared by mixing 10 g of sodium chloride, 10 g of peptone and 5 g of yeast extract powder in 1 L ultrapure water, then the pH of the medium was adjusted to 7.…”

“…The diameters of antibacterial region were 0.05 mm and 1.2 mm by adding 10 uL and 20 uL SeNPs, respectively. According to previous literatures and the Standard Antibacterial methods (SNV 195920-1992), samples exhibiting more than 1-mm microbial inhibition zone can be considered to have a good antibacterial effect (Raghavendra et al 2013;Jayaramudu et al 2017). Therefore, the biosynthesized SeNPs could be effective in destroying the Gram-positive bacteria such as Arthrobacter sp.…”

“…Hydrogel has a role in the covering the wound as a temporary barrier, avoiding water loss and bacterial infection due to its antibacterial properties [ 9 , 18 ]. Silver nanoparticles significantly improve the antibacterial effect of hydrogel without cytotoxicity [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ]. Moreover, hydrogel has the capability to absorb the excess wound exudate with moisturizing efficacy [ 9 , 18 ].…”
