Eco-Friendly Synthesis of Chitosan-Ag Nanocomposites Using Tabernaemontana divaricata: A Multi-Scale Analysis of their Structural, Thermal, and Mechanical Properties

by Siva J. Kaliappan S. Lakshmaiya N. Maranan R.

Water and wastewater treatment and reuse

This study presents a simple, cost-effective, and eco-friendly approach for synthesizing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Tabernaemontana divaricata flower extract. The formation of nanoparticles was indicated by a color transition from light yellow to yellowish brown during silver ion reduction...

Water and wastewater treatment and reuse

In response to the growing demand for eco-friendly and efficient catalysts in wastewater treatment, this study introduces a novel, biosynthesized silver nanoparticle (AgNP) using leaf extract from Lawsonia inermis, a widely available plant. We employed a unique concentration mixture of 0.015 mg/mL...
