Abstract:
A gel comprising nano-sized particles of metallic silver (Ag), a polymer comprising carboxylate groups, carboxylate molecules comprising at least one group capable of binding to Ag, and metal ions, where the gel is useful as a topically applied antimicrobial agent.

Claim (Index 1):
A gel comprising:\n (i) nano-sized particles of metallic silver (Ag); (ii) a polymer comprising carboxylate groups; (iii) carboxylate molecules comprising at least one group capable of binding to Ag; and (iv) metal ions; wherein:\n at least some of the Ag particles are bound to each other through a carboxylate-metal ion bridge as shown in formula (I):\n Ag\u2014X-M-X\u2014Ag \u2003\u2003(I) \n \n where X is a carboxylate molecule, and M is a metal ion; and \n at least some of the Ag particles are bound to a polymer chain through a carboxylate-metal ion bridge as shown in formula (II):\n Ag\u2014X-M-Y \u2003\u2003(II) \n \n where X is a carboxylate molecule, M is a metal ion, and Y is a carboxylate group of the polymer.
