Silver nanoparticles blended PEG/PVA nanocomposites synthesis and characterization for food packaging

In this research investigation Silver nanoparticles were synthesised using rapid biological methods using leaf broth of Capparis zeylanica that provides an environmentally friendly, simple and efficient route for synthesis. Anti-microbial study was investigated against different pathogenic bacteria. Synthesized AgNPs were blended with PVA/PEG biopolymer blend and it has been confirmed by FTIR, DSC, Moisture absorption and Anti-microbial analysis that the AgNPs enhances the stability of the polymer PVA/PEG. This thin film composite shows an excellent characteristic in all aspect that able it for food packaging and bio medical applications.
