The invention provides a method of preparation of a polymer substrate with immobilized silver nanoparticles, wherein the substrate is prepared via electro spinning of a mixture of water non-soluble polymer and a polymer linker containing Ag-reducing functional groups containing nitrogen atom having a free electron pair, and consequently, the substrate is subjected to aqueous solution of silver ions resulting in formation of silver nanoparticles covalently immobilised to the substrate via nitrogen atom of the polymer linker. Further, an antimicrobial material is described, which contains the substrate from water non-soluble polymer and polymer linker containing functional groups containing nitrogen atom with a free electron pair. Silver nanoparticles are covalently immobilized to these functional groups of. |
