Chitosan/Carboxymethylcellulose/Ionic Liquid/Ag(0) Nanoparticles Form a Membrane with Antimicrobial Activity

Abstract: Silver metal nanoparticles were immobilized in chitosan/carboxymethylcellulose/BMI.BF 4 (1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid) (CS/CMC/IL) to form polymeric membrane with 20 m thickness. The CS/CMC/IL polymeric membrane was prepared using a simple solution blending method. Irregularly shaped Ag(0) nanoparticles with monomodal size distributions of 8.0 ± 0.4 nm Ag(0) were immobilized in the membrane. The presence of small Ag(0) nanoparticles induced an augmentation in the CS/CMC/IL film … Show more

“…Furthermore, the MNPs can present a wide range of toxicity, ranging from fungi to the humans. On the other hand, they also have biomedical applications including catheters, dental material, medical devices and implants, using cellulose acetate as a good candidate due to its hydrophilic, non-toxic, biodegradable, properties [161][162][163]. Different synthesis methods have been developed for impregnation of metallic nanoparticles in tissue graft and were summarized elsewhere [164,165].…”

“…For these applications, cellulose acetate (CA) is a good candidate because this polymer is hydrophilic, non-toxic, biodegradable and renewable with good processability [2][3][4][5][6][7] . Polymeric membranes have been prepared using several biopolymers (cellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, chitosan, polylactic acid) [1,[5][6][7][8][9][10] polymers (polycaprolactone, polyaniline, polysulfone, polyurethane) and copolymers (styrene, divinylbenzene) for different applications [11][12][13][14] . Conducting polymers are a new class of polymers that has received particular interest for the production of membranes and films [14] .…”
