Green synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles and its efficiency in degradation of rifampicin antibiotic.

In recent ages, green nanotechnology has gained attraction in the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles due to their cost-effectiveness, simple preparation steps, and environmentally-friendly. In the present study, copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) were prepared using Parthenium hysterophorus whole plant aqueous extract as a reducing, stabilizing, and capping agent. The CuO NPs were characterized via UV-Vis Spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), powder X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS).

Encapsulation of AgNPs in a Lignin Isocyanate Film: Characterization and Antimicrobial Properties.

Lignin isolated from agricultural residues is a promising alternative for petroleum-based polymers as feedstocks in development of antimicrobial materials. A polymer blend based on silver nanoparticles and lignin-toluene diisocyanate film (AgNPs-Lg-TDIs) was generated from organosolv lignin and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Lignin was isolated from using acidified methanol and used to synthesize lignin capped silver nanoparticles.
