  Abstract: The present study focuses on the synthesis and characterization of electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL)/chitosan nanofiber scaffolds incorporated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to enhance antibacterial activity and biological performance. Uniform nanofibers with controlled morphology were fabricated using electrospinning, and different AgNP concentrations were introduced to investigate their influence on fiber structure, antimicrobial response, and cellular interactions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that increasing AgNP content resulted in well-distributed fibers with reduced diameters, …
