Characterization and Biocompatibility of Chitosan Gels with Silver and Gold Nanoparticles

The presence of bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a very important issue and the search of new alternatives is necessary. In this work, a combination of chitosan gel with silver or gold nanoparticles was prepared and characterized using thermal, rheology, bactericide, and biocompatibility analy...
