Article Synopsis
- - Extracted cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) from Elettaria cardamom using a green method with oxalic acid hydrolysis display outstanding thermal stability and high crystallinity (81.51%) with an impressive degradation temperature of 339.07°C.
- - The CNCs exhibit strong negative surface functionalization (zeta potential -34.244 mV) and a moderate aspect ratio (17.8), while showing no antibacterial properties against tested bacterial strains.
- - These non-cytotoxic and thermally stable CNCs have potential uses in various fields, including food packaging and medical device surfaces, aligning with the "One Health" concept regarding antibiotic resistance.
The inadvertent discharge of industrial effluents, mainly textile, contributes to the complex contamination load in water bodies. Textile dyes are the critical effluents and recalcitrant to traditional remediation procedures. Therefore, energy viable and environment friendly solutions are needed.

In the present scenario, incidences of Catheter-Related Blood Stream Infections (CRBSIs) pose a serious challenge. Despite considerable advancements in the antimicrobial therapy and material design of CVCs, clinicians continue to struggle with infection-related complications.
