Abstract
A method of synthesizing silver nanoparticles from waste film includes providing waste film including a silver halide salt and gelatin, mixing the waste film with an alkaline solution to form a mixture, heating the mixture, and subjecting the mixture to ultracentrifugation to isolate silver nanoparticles in the mixture. The film can include waste radiographic or photographic film pieces. Glucose and/or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) may be added to the mixture. The nanoparticles can have an average particle size of about 2 nm to about 10 nm. The silver nanoparticles can be resistant to synthetic stomach fluid and showed high antimicrobial activity.
