Silver Inlaid with Gold Nanoparticle/Chitosan Wound Dressing Enhances Antibacterial Activity and Porosity, and Promotes Wound Healing

Abstract: Silver inlaid with gold nanoparticles (Au-Ag NPs) prepared by using egg white with an average sized of 10 nm and homogeneous dispersion were tested and presented red fluorescence. Au-Ag NPs were loaded into chitosan as wound dressing (CS-Au-Ag). CS-Au-Ag released silver ions faster, in higher amount, and in a more durable manner than chitosan dressing loaded with silver nanoparticles with the same silver content (CS-Ag), consequently, showing enhanced antibacterial activity. Cytotoxicity tests indicated that C… Show more

“…). Similar data have been recorded by Li et al ., in which these wavenumbers have been assigned to CH vibrations from the methylene group of CS. The broadening of peaks at around 3431 cm −1 wavenumber in PANI‐CS‐NC and PANI‐CS‐Ag‐NC are indicative of stretching of the carbonyl group of β‐gal, which confirms binding of the enzyme to the NCs.…”

“…Similarly, chitosan blended with metallic nanoparticles has an eff ect on the microbial activity and wound healing [98]. Th e reductions of infl ammatory cells and mostly closed capillary lumens have been investigated by diverse research groups, using silver nanoparticles in diverse polymer matrices [89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97].…”
