The present work involves the development of EA-Alg-AgNPs nanocomposite based on ellagic acid (EA) as active compound. Silver nitrate was taken as the metal precursor (AgNPs) and sodium alginate (Alg) as a reducing agent. The EA-Alg-AgNPs nanocomposite was characterized using transmission electron m...
