“…AgNPs have been embedded in some optical transparent materials such as functionalized silicate sol gel network film (Maduraiveer and Ramaraj, 2013), ZnO, Al 2 O 3 , SiN x , and SiO x substrates to produce the optical sensors for analytes detection (Schmidl et al, 2015). Reports are currently available for embedding of AgNPs within microcrystalline cellulose (Vivekanandhan et al 2012), TEMPO-mediated oxidized bacterial cellulose (Feng et al 2014), and bacterial cellulose (Maneerung et al 2008, Fortunati et al 2012 for biomedical applications such as antimicrobial wound dressings.…”
