Copper-Chitosan Nanocomposite Hydrogels Against Aflatoxigenic <i>Aspergillus flavus</i> from Dairy Cattle Feed

The integration of copper nanoparticles as antifungal agents in polymeric matrices to produce copper polymer nanocomposites has shown excellent results in preventing the growth of a wide variety of toxigenic fungi. Copper-chitosan nanocomposite-based chitosan hydrogels (Cu-Chit/NCs hydrogel) were pr...
