In the present study, a biopolymer, low molecular weight chitosan had been utilized as a “green” stabilizing agent for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles under γ‐irradiation. The as‐synthesized silver nanoparticles have particle diameters in the range of 5 nm–30 nm depending on the percentage of...
