Sorption Capacity of Silver Nanoparticles on Plain Polished Catgut

The paper studies the interaction between surgical catgut and silver nanoparticles depending on the fiber surface treatment and time of exposure (1 and 24 hours) in Ag-containing gels. After a 24-hour exposure, the maximum sorption capacity is observed on polished catgut for silver nanoparticles ranging in size from 1 to 10 nm. After this time period, the sorption capacity of silver nanoparticles on unpolished catgut occurs in Agcontaining gel...
