Silk Fiber as the Support and Reductant for the Facile Synthesis of Ag-Fe₃O₄ Nanocomposites and Its Antibacterial Properties.
Materials (Basel, Switzerland) 20160623 7
We report a facile and environmentally friendly approach to prepare Ag-Fe₃O₄-silk fiber nanocomposites. The Ag-Fe₃O₄-silk fiber acts as: (i) a biocompatible support for the silver nanoparticles; and (ii) a reducing agent for the silver ions. Neither additional reducing agents nor toxic organic solvents were used during the preparation process. The Ag-Fe₃O₄-silk fiber nanocomposites can be actuated by a small household magnet and have high antibacterial activities against both <i>Escherichia coli ...[more]
