Chitosan as a Capping Agent of Silver Nanoparticles

Blog Article

Silver nanoparticles have been developed in many applications because of their optical and reactivity properties.One of the disadvantages of silver nanoparticles flex 4 heartworm test is their low level of stability because their surface is easy to aggregate.It is necessary to have other materials such as chitosan as a capping agent on the surface of silver nanoparticles to prevent aggregation.This study aimed to determine the ability of chitosan as a capping agent for silver nanoparticles.

The ability of chitosan was evaluated based on the stability test and characterization using a UV-Vis, PSA, and FTIR spectrophotometer.The silver nanoparticles formed producing a yellow color with a wavelength of 401 nm and a size of 13.48 nm.The volume of chitosan that gave hbl5266ca optimal results in stabilizing silver nanoparticles was 2.
