Hypothesized interactions between SiNPs surface functional and polysaccharides in the EPS matrix. Interactions between functional groups on NAG-containing polysaccharides and functional groups on the surface of (A) Epoxy-SiNPs or (B) Amine-SiNPs. These interactions may occur through possible hydrogen bonding or covalent interactions.
