| dc.description.abstract | In the field of medicine, antibiotic resistance was becoming a grave issue. At the
same time, typical antibacterial agent production procedures frequently pollute the
environment by using harmful chemicals. To get around these issues, a novel chemical
compound, a polymer mixture (M8) composed of PVP, PVA, CS, PEG, and silver
nitrate, offers remarkable promise as an ecologically friendly antibacterial agent and a
potential solution to antibiotic resistance through green synthesis. After 10 hours of
reaction at 80 °C, the Ag:M8 ratio achieving 100 % conversion of Ag+
to Ag0 was 0.15
g/60 mL, according to the experimental results. The nanoparticle analysis revealed a
mass fraction of 39.22 ± 0.34 % and an atomic fraction of 8.1 ± 0.07 %. The particle
sizes averaged 42.48 ± 10.77 nm based on FE-SEM and 44.53 nm from XRD data. In
terms of antibacterial efficiency, the M8 and AgNPs composite (M8Ag) was utilized to
inhibit 50 % the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA), Staphylococcus aureus (SA),
and Salmonella enterica (SAL) by a 6.25 % dilution. The data collected highlights
M8Ag's potential as an effective antibacterial treatment, notably against PA. | en_US |
