Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) are classified as metal-based nanoparticles and have received considerable attention among researchers in the application of wound healing, due to their physicochemical and biological properties. In this research silver nanoparticles (AgNP) will be combined with collagen to collagen-nanosilver (Co-AgNP) grown by electrospinning method into nanofiber film. The optimum parameter of the electrospinning process using an electric voltage of 25 kV at a spray distance of 20 cm becomes based on the process growth of Co-AgNP film. By using PVA as an electrospun polymer, the collagen-nanosilver composite (Co-AgNP) can be grown into a film that can be used as a wound dressing.
