PVA Films with Mixed Silver Nanoparticles and Gold Nanostars for Intrinsic and Photothermal Antibacterial Action

PVA films with embedded either silver nanoparticles (AgNP), NIR-absorbing photothermal gold nanostars (GNS), or mixed AgNP+GNS were prepared in this research. The optimal conditions to obtain stable AgNP+GNS films with intact, long lasting photothermal GNS were obtained. These require coating of GNS...
