ABSTRACT: Various concentrations of AgNO3 added polymer
solutions were electrospun using needleless electrospinning system. Silver nanoparticles
were prepared by reducing silver salt using ascorbic acid which is a mild reducing
agent. Antibacterial activity of samples tested. Results showed that with the same
amount of Silver NPs, higher concentration of PVB polymer solution has better efficiency
against to E. coli owing to higher productivity.
