Evaluation of phytoactive contents and antibacterial activities of green synthesised cerium oxide nanoparticles using sp. leaf extract as the capping agent.

Simple and green methods of developing nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted the attention of researchers. Literature on utilising leaf extract to prepare cerium oxide (CeO NPs) is scarce. The present study synthesised leaf-mediated-CeO NPs to produce nanopowders of controllable sizes for further applications.

Morphological, Physical, and Mechanical Properties of Sugar-Palm ( () .)-Reinforced Silicone Rubber Biocomposites.

The development of environmentally benign silicone composites from sugar palm fibre and silicone rubber was carried out in this study. The mechanical, physical, and morphological properties of the composites with sugar palm (SP) filler contents ranging from 0% to 16% by weight (wt%) were investigated. Based on the uniaxial tensile tests, it was found that the increment in filler content led to higher stiffness.
