Abstract
⺠We reported the facile synthesis of Ag-nanoparticle (Ag-NP) dispersed silk fibroin compact. ⺠The fibroin protein itself served as the reducing agent for AgNO3. ⺠Ag NPs dispersed silk compact exhibited a characteristic color, corresponding to the surface plasmon resonance of Ag NPs. ⺠Ag NPs did not affect the thermal stability of silk fibroin. ⺠The antimicrobial test indicated that Ag-NPs dispersed silk compact have an excellent antimicrobial activity.
