Compare the physicochemical and biological properties of engineered polymer-functionalized silver nanoparticles against Porphyromonas gingivalis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Some polymer-functionalized AgNPs (P-AgNPs) have been developed to optimize the biological properties of AgNPs. However, there are no studies in the literature comparing the differences in physicochemical and biological properties of AgNPs caused by various polymer-functionalizations and providing evidence for the selection of polymers to optimize AgNPs.

Methods

Two AgNPs with similar nano-size and opposite surface charges were synthesized and functionalized by seven polymers. Their physicochemical properties were evaluated by UV-Visible absorption, dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. Their biological properties against Porphyromonas gingivalis and human gingival fibroblast
