Abstract:
This study presents the preparation and characterization of biohybrid materials with biomedical potential using Mentha piperita aqueous extract, biosynthesized silver nanoparticles, and biomimetic membranes. Silver nanoparticles were obtained through phytosynthesis, using an aqueous mint extract. The green developed hybrid systems were characterized by spectral methods (UV–Vis, FTIR-ATR, and fluorescence emission spectroscopy). These obtained biohybrids were applied on sterile compresses, and were analyzed by FTIR-ATR spectroscopy and by optical microscopy. Mentha piperita-derived biohybrids exhibited biocidal effect against Escherichia coli, so they are promising candidates for biomedical applications, in development of antimicrobial textiles.
