Relative absorbance values of chitosan, cross-linked Chi-TEOS IPN and Chi-TEOS IPN with Ag/Au NPs. The absorbance corresponds to the degree of bacterial attachment during the CV assay with E. coli. There is a significant reduction in attachment upon cross-linking with TEOS, while the addition of Ag/Au NPs does not contribute to antimicrobial activity.
