Fabrication and performance evaluation of TiO2 nanoparticle modified cellulose/PBS biocomposites

Abstract In this study, jute fiber cellulose (JFC) was extracted from raw jute fibers using an alkaline (NaOH + H 2 O 2 ) chemical treatment. Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) nanoparticle-dispersed cellulosic biocomposite films (JFC-TiO 2 ) were subsequently fabricated and coated with b...

Biogenically synthesized of five different plant-derived silver nanoparticles as natural weapon against sheath blight disease of rice and its characterization

Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was carried out using extracts from five plant species: neem (Azadirachta indica), tulsi (Ocimum sanctum), bishkatali (Persicaria lapathifolia), garlic (Allium sativum), and ginger (Zingiber officinale). The formation of silver nanopar...
