Environmentally benign production of cupric oxide nanoparticles and various utilizations of their polymeric hybrids in different technologies

Tunable electrochemistry and efficient antibacterial activity of plant-mediated copper oxide nanoparticles synthesized by Annona squamosa seed extract for agricultural utility

“…[10][11][12] It has also been observed that some plants readily uptake and reduce metal ions from salt or mineral-rich soil by a process of detoxication and can convert them into nanoparticles. 5,13 Numerous reports are available on the plantmediated synthesis of metallic nanoparticles, notably from Azadirachta indica, Ocimum sanctum, Magnolia cobus, Mangrera indica, Pomegranate, Calotropis gigantine, Annona squamosa and extracts of coriander seeds. Indeed, the plant-mediated synthesis of nanoparticles and their aspects have gained a lot of attention nowadays due to the unique properties exhibited by nanoparticles synthesized from this route.…”

The latest strategies in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic: the role of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles

“…35 Copper and copper oxide nanoparticles have excellent antibacterial and antiviral properties and are used in diverse applications. 36 They have also been shown to be very effective against the coronavirus 229E. Indeed, the presence of these antimicrobial nanoparticles in the preparation of antiviral coatings with good performance controls the spread of coronavirus.…”

Recent breakthroughs of antibacterial and antiviral protective polymeric materials during COVID-19 pandemic and after pandemic: Coating, packaging, and textile applications

“…COVID-19, a new disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, is a public concern, prevalent all over the world, and killing countless people [ [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] ]. To date, various systems including antimicrobial metallic, metal oxide nanoparticles, and other antiviral materials were employed to fight against microorganisms [ [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] ]. For example, Randriantsilefisoa et al [ 16 ] prepared hydrogel nanocomposites based on Au nanoparticles, sialic acid, polyethylene glycol, and polyglycerol cyclooctyne to catch the influenza virus.…”
