Abstract

In this work, the synthesis method and applications of nanocomposite polymer stabilized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are reported. 3-Aminophenyl boronic acid (3APBA) was used as a reductant of silver nitrate which acted as an oxidant for the polymerization of 3APBA through in situ chemical oxidative polymerization to poly(3-aminophenyl boronic acid) or PABA. The formation of PABA in the reaction mixture led to particle agglomeration owing to PABA poor solubility. However, in the presence of hydrophilic poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), PABA binds to the free hydroxyl group of PVA to form a composite polymer (PABA-PVA), which perfectly stabilized the formed AgNPs. Succinctly, PVA acted as a solubilizer and stabilizer for (PABA-PVA)AgNPs synthesis. Synthesis was optimized and sharp absorption peaks at 290 nm and 426 nm were observed, attributing to the π-π* transition of the benzenoid ring of PABA and the characteristic absorption spectrum of AgNPs, respectively. (PABA-PVA)AgNPs was characterized using UV-vis, TEM, FESEM, EDX, XRD, FTIR, TGA/DTG, DLS and zeta potential analysis. In addition, the antibacterial, antioxidant and metal chelating capacities of (PABA-PVA)AgNPs were evaluated. The (PABA-PVA)AgNPs exhibited significant antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes, and good antioxidant and metal chelating properties of (PABA-PVA)AgNPs, thus validating its attractive biological applications.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.<br /> (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
