Abstract:
PURPOSE: A silver nanoparticle using chondroitin sulfate or acharan sulfate is provided to suppress bacteria without toxicity and to enable quick wound healing. CONSTITUTION: A biocompatible silver nanoparticle improves safety, stability, and wound healing effect using chondroitin sulfate or acharan sulfate. The size of the silver nanoparticle is 5-50 nm. A method for preparing the silver nanoparticles comprises: a step of dissolving chondroitin sulfate or acharan sulfate in 0.01-2.0 mM of distilled water to prepare a reducing agent solution; a step of dissolving 0.01-10.0 mM nitric acid in distilled water to prepare a nitric acid solution; a step of mixing the reducing agent solution and nitric acid solution to prepare a mixture solution; and a step of reacting the mixture solution in an autoclave or microwave.
