Applications of silver nanoparticles stabilized and/or immobilized by polymer matrixes

Abstract

Nanomaterials frequently possess unique and noticeably changed physical, chemical and biological properties compared to their macro scaled corresponding item. Utilization of nanoparticles habitually requires the construction of integrated chemical systems. Most popular of these are polymer-supported nanoparticles. In this review, we provide the reader with the last developments and breakthrough technologies concerning silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), one of the most comprehensively studied nanomaterials, considering the polymer types and processes used for the nanocomposite membranes preparation.
