In this work, Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized in water using either polymer assisted chemical reduction synthesis method or green synthesis. The obtained AgNPs were characterized by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), and further tested for antibacterial activity to evaluate their potential use in wound healing. At first polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP 10 KD) and Low-Molecular Weight Chitosan were used as coating agents during the reduction of silver nitrate with a strong reducing agent sodium borohydride (NaBH4). Our DLS results demonstrated that ...
