Abstract

Development of materials for medical applications using biologically derived materials by green approaches is emerging as an important focus in the present healthcare scenario. Herein the first time, we report the plant extract mediated ultra-rapid biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using whole plant extracts of Biophytum sensitivum. Synthesized nanoparticles were immobilized in nano-micro dual-porous calcium pectinate scaffolds for wound dressing application. Pectinate wound dressings containing silver nanoparticles have shown excellent antibacterial property and exudate uptake capacity while being biocompatible to the human cells.
