Synthesise and charactherization of starch silver nanocomposite films

Starch has been widely used as a raw material in films production due to its low cost and boidegradable properties.In this project,silver nanoparticles will be added to starch solution to form Nano composites films with anti-microbial properties.Parameters such as ratio of starch and silver nanopart...

Description
Summary:Starch has been widely used as a raw material in films production due to its low cost and boidegradable properties.In this project,silver nanoparticles will be added to starch solution to form Nano composites films with anti-microbial properties.Parameters such as ratio of starch and silver nanoparticles used together with amount of cross-linkers were investigated and optimized to produce starch-silver Nanocomposites films with desirable physical and anti-microbial properties.FTIR,SEM,FEM and UV-Visible spectrophotometer were used to characterized morphology,particle size and changes in chemical composition of strach-silver nanocomposite films.
