Synthesis And Characterization Of Silver Or Silver Sulfide Filled Poly(3-Hydroxybutyrate) Nanocomposites

Ag and Ag2S hydrosols were synthesized via chemical reduction and reflux methods respectively. A simple aqueous to organic phase transfer technique was employed to transfer the Ag and Ag2S nanoparticles from the respective hydrosol into poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [PHB] chloroform solution. The Ag and A...
