| Abstract: | In this study, glyoxal-cross-linked Iota carrageenan (IC) /poly(vinyl alcohol) PVA films were prepared and loaded with silver nanoparticles via a green approach, consisting of sweet lime juice induced in-situ reduction of Ag(I) ions to nano silver within the film matrix. The formation of silver nanoparticles was confirmed using UV–visible spectrophotometry. The Ag NPs-loaded films were also characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The dynamic water uptake data were interpreted by the ‘Power functional model’. The films showed fair antimicrobial action against bacteria E. Coli. |
