OBTAINING METHYLCELLULOSE HYDROGELS CONTAINING SILVER NANOPARTICLES AND STUDYING ITS PROPERTIES
Keywords:
silver nanoparticles, methylcellulose, film, infection.Abstract
In this work, we present in situ preparation of silver nanoparticles by reduction of silver nitrate by methylcellulose. The aim of this study was to prepare a stable solution of methylcellulose-silver, convert it to solid film, redissolve it and determine how this process influences the form and properties of the prepared NPs.
