1.4. Objectives<br />
In the present study different nanoparticles with antibacterial properties were produced in<br />
order to be applied in several biomedical products like bone implants or skin substitutes. The<br />
specific objectives of the workplan herein presented are the following:<br />
- Development of AgNPs stabilized with chitosan/dextran;<br />
- Determination of the antibacterial activity of the produced nanoparticles;<br />
- Characterization of the different nanoparticles by different methods: Fourier Transform<br />
Infrared (FT-IR), Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM);<br />
- Evaluation of the cytotoxic profile of the nanoparticles.<br />
