Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) have been successfully synthesized using ultrasound irradiation in the sodium alginate media. AgNO3 and ultrasound irradiation have been used as silver precursor and physical reducing agent to accelerate the synthesis of Ag-NPs. The presence of Ag-NPs can be detected from the changing color of the suspensions. The silver ion reduction was confirmed through the surf...

Silver/polylactide nanocomposites (Ag/PLA-NCs) were synthesized via chemical reduction method in diphase solvent. Silver nitrate and sodium borohydride were used as a silver precursor and reducing agent in the polylactide (PLA). The properties of Ag/PLA-NCs were studied as a function of the weight percentages of silver nanoparticles (8, 16 and 32 wt% of Ag-NPs) relative to the weight of PLA. Th...
