• This study showed the synthesis of polyethylene glycol–chitosan–nano Ag (PEG–Chi–Ag) composites to improve the homogeneous distribution of nano Ag and their antibacterial properties. In particular, various concentration ratios of nano Ag to PEG–Chi were adjusted to control the microstructure of the composites. Chitosan was used as a reducing and stabilizing agent. All the composites showed a rough microstructure with a homogeneous distribution of nano Ag on the matrix. In addition, the homogeneous distribution of nano Ag on the PEG–Chi–Ag composites resulted in antibacterial activities. These results indicated that PEG–Chi–Ag composites had great potential application in antibacterial treatment and nanomedicine.
