Mechanically stable antimicrobial chitosan-PVA-silver nanocomposite coatings deposited on titanium implants

Bionanocomposite coatings with antimicrobial activity comprising polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-capped sil-ver nanoparticles embedded in chitosan (CS) matrix were developed by a green soft chemistry synthesisroute. Colloidal sols of PVA-capped silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized by microwave irra...
