Article Synopsis
- The study presents a green method for creating a chitosan/zinc oxide (CS/ZnO) nanocomposite using tomato leaf extract, which was thoroughly characterized using several advanced techniques.
- Analysis showed that the nanocomposite had a specific crystalline structure and a spherical shape with sizes between 21-47 nm, confirming the presence of chitosan and metal-oxygen bonds.
- The CS/ZnO nanocomposite demonstrated antibacterial properties against several bacterial strains and could be applied in textiles and as a photocatalyst for dye degradation under sunlight.
