Abstract
Silver and palladium nanoparticles were prepared by in situ chemical reduction using Sodium Borohydride as a reducing agent at 18°C. The synthesis of pure and hybrid cryogels and the incorporation of silver and palladium nanoparticles inside the cryogel network, was confirmed by x-ray diffraction analysis and energy dispersive x-ray respectively. The antibacterial activities were checked by using the hybrid cryogels against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC: 2593) and Escherichia coli (ATCC: 25922) bacteria. After taking into account the facile synthetic process and the adsorption performance, these cryogels can serve as good candidates for antibacterial purposes.
