Polyhexamethylene biguanide functionalized cationic silver nanoparticles for enhanced antimicrobial activity [PDF]
Nanoscale Research Letters, 2012 Abstract Polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB), a broad spectrum disinfectant against many pathogens, was used as a stabilizing ligand for the synthesis of fairly uniform silver nanoparticles. The particles formed were characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy, FTIR, dynamic light scattering, electrophoretic mobility, and TEM to measure their ...
