Preparation and Characterization of Silver Nanoparticles by Chemical Method for Modification with Polyvinyl Chloride Electro Spun Nanofibers

Abstract

In this study, a chemical procedure was used to produce nano-silver particles (reduction method). At different molar concentrations, reactive substances including sodium citrate and silver nitrate were employed. A smaller average size is produced by mixing (sodium citrate: silver nitrate) at an optimal molar concentration of (1:20). To determine the Zeta Potential and (PDI) of the generated silver nanoparticles, the (DLS) Zetazaser instrument was employed. To examine the structural and component of produced silver nanoparticles, X-ray diffraction and EDX techniques are applied. The outcomes showed that this approach generated stable, homogenous nano silver particles with an average size of 58 nm and a PDI factor of 0.055. The electrospinning process was used to create different nano-fiber diameters of poly vinyl chloride (PVC) nanofibers reinforced with silver nanoparticles from solution under strict working conditions, including solution parameters (viscosity, temperature). Gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms were used to test the antibacterial activity of tissue generated with silver nanoparticles. According to the findings, both species of bacteria were effectively suppressed to a degree of 99.99 percent by the tissue that was created.
