The present invention provides a method for controlling toxicity of metallic particles and a low-toxicity composite of metallic nanoparticles and inorganic clay. The metallic nanoparticles are effective in preventing infection and in skinning over, and thus suitable for treating scalds/burns. In the composite, the weight ratio of metallic nanoparticles to inorganic clay preferably ranges 0.1/99.9 to 6.0/94.0 in a size of about 5 to 100 nm. Preferably, the metal is silver and the inorganic clay is nano silicate platelets.
A composite of metallic nanoparticles and inorganic clay for treating a wound, the composite having a weight ratio of the metallic nanoparticles to the inorganic clay ranging from 0.1/99.9 to 6.0/94.0, and a size from 5 nm to 100 nm;
A method for producing a composite of metallic nanoparticles and inorganic clay, comprising a step of mixing and reacting metallic particles, layered inorganic clay and a reducing agent to generate the composite having a size of 5 to 100 nm,
