An eco-friendly photochemical method for preparing silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) in a natural polymer (κ-carrageenan) was successfully developed and is reported in this study. The Ag-NPs have been synthesized via a photochemical method by using UV-irradiation, silver nitrate and κ-carrageenan as a r...
