Production, stabilization and characterization of silver nanoparticles coated with bioactive polymers pluronic F68, PVP and PVA

The increasing and alarming panorama of bacterial infections and associated morbidities that occur during medical and hospital procedures makes the development of technologies that aid in controlling such bacterial infections of utmost importance. Recent studies have shown that formulations with met...
