Microwave assisted in situ synthesis of gum Salai guggal based silver nanocomposites- investigation of anti-bacterial properties

This paper describes the fabrication of silver nanocomposites based on semi interpenetrating network (semi-IPN) and interpenetrating network (IPN) matrices and their antibacterial activity. The semi-IPN and IPN matrices were prepared under microwave radiation using polyacrylic acid and polyacrylamide chains to graft copolymerize the polysaccharide fraction of gum Salai guggal. After optimizing the reaction parameters with respect to maximum...
