Abstract

Synthesis of chitosan mediated silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) and its characterization were fulfilled by UV–vis spectroscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. UV–visible absorption spectrum revealed that the formation efficiency of Ag NPs was increased by the addition of chitosan. In addition, the size decrement of NPs was more remarkable at a higher chitosan concentration. XRD pattern has indicated that Ag NPs were spherical structured and crystalline in nature (JCPDS card no: 65-2871). The AFM and TEM images examined the surface morphology and the size of the synthesized NPs. DLS image confirmed the size distribution and range of the Ag NPs. The synthesized Ag NPs showed highly potent antibacterial and antifungal activities. The study suggested that crustacean waste could be a cheaper source for the production of Ag NPs which could be useful in various medical applications for biomedicine research and may create a new market for sea food with products such as chitin and chitosan.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
