Table 1 Yield, size, and zeta potential of SS-capped AgNPs synthesized from SS and AgNO ₃ at pH 11

From: Green synthesis of silk sericin-capped silver nanoparticles and their potent anti-bacterial activity

Sample	Yield of AgNPs (mM)	Size (nm)	Zeta potential (mV)
5 mg/mL SS + 1 mM AgNO₃	0.06	95.8 ± 0.9	−23.7 ± 0.6
5 mg/mL SS + 5 mM AgNO₃	0.75	48.8 ± 0.1*	−25.2 ± 0.2
5 mg/mL SS + 10 mM AgNO₃	0.88	55.2 ± 0.6*	−17.1 ± 0.6
10 mg/mL SS + 1 mM AgNO₃	0.04	117.0 ± 6.8	−22.0 ± 0.1
10 mg/mL SS + 5 mM AgNO₃	0.66	48.1 ± 0.2*	−25.5 ± 0.9
10 mg/mL SS + 10 mM AgNO₃	0.93	63.6 ± 1.6*	−18.8 ± 2.3

*p < 0.05, significant against the values of SS-capped AgNPs synthesized from 1 mM AgNO₃ at the corresponding SS concentration.
