Antibacterial nanocomposite of chitosan/silver nanocrystals/graphene oxide (ChAgG) development for its potential use in bioactive wound dressings.

ABSTRACT: An adequate wound dressing reduces time of healing, provides cost-effective care, thereby improving patients' quality life. An antimicrobial bioactivity is always desired, for that reason, the objective of this work is to design an antimicrobial nanocomposite of chitosan/silver nanocrystals/graphene oxide (ChAgG). ChAgG nanostructured composite material is composed of chitosan from corn (Ch), and silver nanocrystals from garlic (Allium sativum). The nanocomposite obtained is the result of a series of experiments combining the graphene oxide (GrOx) with two members of the Amaryllidaceae family; garlic and onion (Allium cebae), which contain different sulfur materials. The characterization arrays confirmed the successful production of silver crystal, graphene oxidation and the blending of bo
