Microwave-enhanced silver nanoparticle synthesis using chitosan biopolymer: optimization of the process conditions and evaluation of their characteristics

A facile and green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by aqueous chitosan solution and microwave irradiation is proposed as a cost effective and environmentally benevolent alternative to chemical and physical methods. With this aim, different amounts of chitosan solution (3–9 ml) with several...
