摘要: Abstract Green synthesis of novel nanocomposites series based on chitosan biguanidine grafted poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) copolymer (ChG-g-PHB) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was successfully done via in situ reduction AgNO3 the matrix. Transmission electron microscopy verified homogeneous dispersion spherical shape AgNPs with an average particle size 12.3 to 19.2 nm. X-ray diffraction pattern revealed face centered cubic structure AgNPs. The thermal stability improved upon increasing content up 2.0%, then declined loading 3.0%. Coats-Redfern model showed that sample 2.0% has highest activation energy degradation values 264 270 kJ mol− 1 for 1st 2nd steps, respectively. Differential scanning calorimetry indicated acts as a nucleating agent nonisothermal melt crystallization PHB component. Avrami equation described well segments, exponent 3.10 3.36 ChG-g-PHB its nanocomposite, Regardless AgNPs, antimicrobial activity is better than neat copolymer. loaded 3.0% best MIC value range 0.98–1.95 μg mL− 1.
