Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Hydrogel dressings for biomedical application were obtained by γ-irradiation of poly-N-vinipirrolidon (PVP), agar-agar, polyethylene glycol and silver nitrate solution. Influence of irradiation doses (range from 25 kGy to 75 kGy), silver nitrate concentration and PVP concentration in initial monomer mixture on properties of obtained material were investigated. Presence and distribution of silver nanoparticles in obtained bandages is confirmed by optical microscopy and atomic force spectroscopy. Antimicrobial activity study in vitro showed antimicrobial activity, flexibility, high sorption capacity to water and biological fluids.
