Abstract:
:In the present study, the antioxidant and antibacterial chitosan/tea polyphenols-silver nanoparticles composite film (CS/TP-AgNPs) was developed via a novel one-pot method. The TP was added to the CS film not only as the reducing agent of AgNPs but also as the cross-linking agent and antioxidant. The AgNPs and nanocomposite films developed were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Besides, the physical, mechanical, antioxidant and antibacterial properties of the nanocomposite films were also analyzed. As the content of TP-AgNPs incorporation increased, the color of CS/TP-AgNPs nanocomposite film gradually shifted to brown, accompanied by an increase in opacity and thickness. The decrease in moisture contents and water vapor permeability of CS/TP-AgNPs nanocomposite film indicated that the TP-AgNPs varied the original bond between the CS-CS and CS-water. The denser cross-section of CS/TP-AgNPs nanocomposite film confirmed the enhanced mechanical properties. It is worth noting that CS/TP-AgNPs nanocomposite film exhibited more excellent antioxidant and antibacterial activity than CS film. This study developed the multi-functionality chitosan film by the simultaneous incorporation of AgNPs and TP and revealed the multiple effects of TP acting as reducing agent for AgNPs, cross-linking agent and antioxidant on chitosan film.
