This communication describes a carefully designed strategy which blends biogenic silver nanoparticles with PVA scaffolds to fabricate SNP@PVA electrospun scaffolds with admirable physico-chemical properties. The hybrid scaffold demonstrated cyto-compatibility and hemo-compatibility with no adverse effects on the surrounding cells, as demonstrated by multiple assays. The growth of cancer cells was greatly prevented by SNP@PVA scaffolds, while allowing growth of normal cells. The outstanding antimicrobial features of the scaffold can be attributed to the presence of silver na-noparticles and proves the use of SNP@PVA for bio-medical applications.
