The aggregation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in colloidal solution and the oxidative cytotoxicity towards human cells are two major hindrances for their thriving medicinal applications. Their incorporation in natural polymers such as cellulose, chitosan, alginate, collagen, gelatin, silk fibroin, carrageenan, hyaluronic acid, keratin and starch may be an alluring alternative strategy to sidestep these complications and attaining the advantageous wound dressings. Biocompatibility, bioavailability, biodegradability, and inherent therapeutic properties known for theses polymers, would accelerate the healing of infected chronic wounds. However, the low thermal stability, mechanical strength, rapid biodegradation, and weak washing resistance properties are some of the limitations for these polymers. Herein, recent advances, present challenges and future perspective for AgNPs incorporated nanocomposites (NCs) are discussed to realize ideal antibacterial activities by exploiting the abundant natural biopolymers.
