Title: | Antibacterial properties of nanosilver PLLA fibrous membranes | Authors: | Li, L Li, Y Li, J Yao, L Mak, AFT Ko, F Qin, L |
Issue Date: | 2009 | Source: | Journal of nanomaterials, v. 2009, 168041, p. 1-5 | Abstract: | Nanosilver has been studied as a valuable material for it strong antibacterial effects. In this study, we investigated the antibacterial properties of nano silver Poly-L-Lactic acid (Ag/PLLA) composite fibrous membranes. Ag/PLLA fibrous membranes were prepared with silver nanoparticles having weight ratio of silver nanoparticles to PLLA at 5% (w/w). In vitro antibacterial tests were performed using Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (Staph.) to determine the antibacterial capability of the Ag/PLLA fibrous membranes. As the results suggested, Ag/PLLA fibrous membranes showed strong antibacterial properties. Thus, Ag/PLLA fibrous membrane can be used as an antibacterial scaffold for tissue engineering. | Keywords: | Modeling methodologies | Publisher: | Hindawi Publishing Corporation | Journal: | Journal of nanomaterials | ISSN: | 1687-4110 | EISSN: | 1687-4129 | DOI: | 10.1155/2009/168041 | Rights: | Copyright © 2009 Lin Li et al.
