Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used as antimicrobial agent in commercial products like textiles, cosmetics and drugs. AgNPs deposited on the surface of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) particles, serve as sustained release of antimicrobial activity. The silver nanoparticles embedded calcium carbonate particles (Ag/CaCO3) are prepared by a precipitation method. In this study, precipitated (Ag/CaCO3) filler will be used for preparation of Ag/CaCO3-poly(L-lactic acid) (Ag/CaCO3-PLA) nanofibers by electrospinning. Polymer concentration and functional filler amount in binary solvent system will be studied. The condition for fabricating electrospun PLA and Ag/CaCO3-PLA was a 15 cm of collection distance and 15 kV of working voltage. Morphology of Ag/CaCO3 loaded PLA electrospun fibers will be investigated by the field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). The electrospun fibers will be further applied as the antimicrobial material.
