Synthesis, Characterisation and Antibacterial Properties of Silicone–Silver Thin Film for the Potential of Medical Device Applications

Silver (Ag) particles have sparked considerable interest in industry and academia, particularly for health and medical applications. Here, we present the “green” and simple synthesis of an Ag particle-based silicone (Si) thin film for medical device applications. Drop-casting and peel-off techniques...
