In this report we present the synthesis of hydrogels using a combined matrix
TEOS-PVA to which AgNps were incorporated by the sol-gel method. The
chemical characterization by infrared spectroscopy confirmed the formation of
the material according to the bands obtained for the expected functional
groups, the stability over time was evaluated by ultraviolet-visible spectrometry.
Their bioactivity was determined by immersing the materials in simulated
physiological fluid for 7, 14 and 21 days. These materials how promising
characteristics to be used in the area of medical instrumentation as well as the
development and construction of biosensors. Moreover, the hydrogels obtained
can be considered as drugs vehicles for prolonged release.
