Green Synthesis of Silver and Copper Nanoparticles Using Ascorbic Acid and Chitosan for Antimicrobial Application

Silver and copper nanoparticles were produced by chemical reduction of their respective nitrates by ascorbic acid in the presence of chitosan using microwave heating. Particle size was shown to increase by increasing the concentration of nitrate and reducing the chitosan concentration. Surface zet...
