Preparation of Silver/Chitosan Nanofluids Using Selected Plant Extracts: Characterization and Antimicrobial Studies against Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Bacteria

Chitosan/silver nanofluids were prepared using <i>Phoenix dactylifera</i> (DPLE) or <i>Rumex vesicarius</i> (HEL) extracts as the reducing agent, characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet–visible (UV-vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and tra...
