“…In order to attain hybrid NFs containing AgNPs, reduction of Ag ion to AgNPs has to Page 4 of 30 A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t be carried out before or after elelctrospinning [19,20], which can be accomplished by irradiation, thermal or chemical reduction process [21]. Among these treatment method, electron beam irradiation (EBI) is considered as an efficient method for large-scale synthesis of AgNPs [22], and has more advantages over others, including easy operation, inexpensive, short irradiation time, and absence of chemical residues after irradiated.…”
