Gamma irradiated starch based hydrogel impregnated with silver nanoparticle

Hydrogel based on petroleum polymer are expensive, non-biodegradable and nondecompose which lead them to heavy waste in environment. In this paper, biopolymer is used to overcome this problem and promote environmental friendliness and biocompatible to the human skin and impregnation of silver nano-p...
