Poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofibers embedded with silver nanoparticles for antibacterial studies-by electrospinning method

In this research antibacterial study has been done by using the polymer nanofibers made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) embedded with silver nanoparticles. The smaller size of polymer, the surface area will increase. Simple preparation steps had been done for this study. PVA was selected as the matrix...
