摘要

Smart silver nanocomposite hydrogels, based on 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and itaconic acid (IA), were developed using one-step and two-step radiolytic synthesis methods. In the latter, P(HEMA/IA) hydrogels were synthesized by gamma radiation, and subsequently used as a matrix for the formation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), whereas the one-step method involves the formation of Ag/P(HEMA/IA) nanocomposites in a single step. The results showed that Ag/P(HEMA/IA) exhibited strong antimicrobial activity. Importantly, the one-step synthesis combines fabrication and sterilization, reducing both production time and costs. Together, these advantages establish the one-step method as an efficient approach to producing antimicrobial hydrogels for wound dressings.
