Biocompatible hydrogel nanocomposite with covalently embedded silver nanoparticles.

abstract：:This study shows the application of the electrospinning technique as a viable method for the encapsulation and stabilization of bifidobacterial strains. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH) was used as the encapsulating material because it is generally recognized as safe (GRAS), has a high oxygen barrier when dry, and is water ...
