We have successfully combined silver nanoparticles
and NRL to obtain a silver nanoparticle delivery
system with antibacterial activity and enhanced
angiogenic properties. The plasmon absorption peak
detected by UV–Vis spectroscopy confirms AgNP
release by the NRL–AgNp membranes. The rise in the
mass percentage of AgNP in the NRL membrane
increase the AgNP release rate from the membranes.
The AgNP released from the samples NRL–AgNp_
0.2 % and NRL–AgNp_0.4 % are probably excess
nanoparticles, and silver mass percentage of approximately
0.1 % remains bound to the NRL matrix.
