Abstract EN
Nanosilver has been studied as a valuable material for it strong antibacterial effects.
In this study, we investigated the antibacterial properties of nano silver Poly-L-Lactic acid (Ag/PLLA) composite fibrous membranes.
Ag/PLLA fibrous membranes were prepared with silver nanoparticles having weight ratio of silver nanoparticles to PLLA at 5% (w/w).
In vitro antibacterial tests were performed using Escherichia coli (E.
coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (Staph.) to determine the antibacterial capability of the Ag/PLLA fibrous membranes.
As the results suggested, Ag/PLLA fibrous membranes showed strong antibacterial properties.
Thus, Ag/PLLA fibrous membrane can be used as an antibacterial scaffold for tissue engineering.
