Cellulose fibres

A method of producing cellulose fibres impregnated with metal nanoparticles, particularly silver nanoparticles. The method comprises swelling cellulose fibres in an aqueous alkali solution (e.g. NaOH (aq)). The swollen cellulose fibres are removed from the aqueous alkali solution and mixed with an a...

Summary:A method of producing cellulose fibres impregnated with metal nanoparticles, particularly silver nanoparticles. The method comprises swelling cellulose fibres in an aqueous alkali solution (e.g. NaOH (aq)). The swollen cellulose fibres are removed from the aqueous alkali solution and mixed with an aqueous solution of a metal salt (e.g. AgNO
