A nanocomposite of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) embedded in chitosan (Cts) matrix was successfully synthesized by crosslinking technology. Colloidal AgNPs formed in situ by chemical reduction of silver ions in presence of Cts showed a good stability. Transmission electron micrographs, X-ray diffract
