Comparative Studies of Chitosan-Silver Nanocomposites from Commercial and Biowaste Sources

In this work, silver nanoparticles/chitosan nanocomposites were prepared for possible industrial and biomedical applications. Chemical reduction of silver nitrate salt produced silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Low molecular weight chitosan (LMWCS) which connotes artificial chitosan (ArCS) was obtained,...
