Antibacterial Activity of Molybdenum Oxide-Polyacrylonitrile Composite Membrane with Fast Silver Ion Reduction.

ABSTRACT: The development of hybrid composite antibacterial agents for wound dressing has garnered significant attention due to their remarkable antibacterial efficacy and their potential to mitigate microbial resistance. In this study, we present an approach to designing and fabricating wound dressing membranes, utilizing molybdenum oxide-polyacrylonitrile (MoO₃/PAN) hybrid composites through electrospinning. Subsequently, we enhanced the membrane's effectiveness by introducing silver (Ag@MoO₃/PAN) into the matrix via a rapid (within one min) green synthesis method under UV irradiation. Initially, we discuss the morphological characteristics and structural attributes of the resulting membranes. Subsequent investigations explore the antibacterial mechanisms of both MoO₃
