Chitosan-Silver Nanoparticles: A Versatile Conjugate for Biotechnological Advancements

Abstract

conjugates show promise for water purification, as they can effectively remove pollutants and disinfect water due to the antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles. Chitosan's ability to form gels and membranes further facilitates their use in filtration systems for wastewater treatment and environmental remediation. In conclusion, the conjugation of chitosan with silver nanoparticles represents a promising avenue in nano technology. This conjugate offers versatile applications in biomedicine and environmental remediation, leveraging the synergistic properties of both components. Further research and development are required to optimize the synthesis techniques, understand the mechanisms of action, and assess the long-term effects to ensure safe and effective utilization of chitosan-silver nanoparticle conjugates in various industries.
