Herein, we proposed a new and straightforward route to prepare Ag NPs assembled spider-net like polyurethane nanofibers mats as a potential antibacterial medium. The addition of AgNO3 and tannic acid in a PU solution prior to the electrospinning resulted into the formation of Ag NPs embedded spider-net like morphology of PU nanofibers. The antibacterial performance of the as obtained composite nanofiber membrane was tested against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. The composite fibers showed good antibacterial behavior against both S. aureus and E. coli bacteria. In addition, the cytocompatibility and cell behavior were studied by using fibroblast cells and the nanofiber membrane showed good cytocompatibility.
