Abstract
Nanocomposites based on polyethylene oxide and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were developed as new active antimicrobial and antibiofilm coatings. Silver colloids were synthesized by nanosecond-pulsed laser ablation synthesis in solution using an organic solvent to ensure a long-term stability of nanocolloids and a good solubility in polymeric solution. AgNPs were incorporated in a biodegradable polymer matrix for the preparation of composite films. The coatings’ surface chemical composition (assessed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) was correlated with the ion release.
