Chemical characterizations and morphological analysis of CGA, AgNPs-CGA, and AgNPs-CGA-BSA. The hydrodynamic diameters of AgNPs-CGA (126.5 ± 0.288 nm) and AgNPs-CGA-BSA (96.51 ± 0.005 nm) were measured by dynamic light scattering (A,B); surface zeta potential of AgNPs-CGA and AgNPs-CGA-BSA (C); UV–vis absorption spectrum analysis of AgNPs, AgNPs-CGA, and AgNPs-CGA-BSA (D); Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis of AgNPs, AgNPs-CGA, and AgNPs-CGA-BSA (E); and TEM images of AgNPs-CGA-BSA; scale bar: 50 nm (F).
