Superhydrophobic cotton fabrics were prepared here with low surface energy silane components decorated with copper oxide nanoparticles that show excellent self-cleaning activity. The fabrics were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Moreover, it is reported that the CuO/TMSPM coated fabric can successfully separate a series of oil-water mixtures with high separation efficiency through a simple filtering process. Additionally, the coated fabric also revealed under oil superhydrophobicity and self-cleaning behaviour. The durability of the coating has been evaluated by washing with detergent , adhesive tape tests and stain repellency. The results of all these tests recommended that the coating was stable.

Environmental concerns and the positive aspects of biowaste materials gained the attention of researchers to use them as filler materials in fabricating of green composites along with polymer matrices, but most of them are not suitable for extensive applications in high thermal applications. In most of the natural particulate materials are not having the ability to fight against pathogens. To overcome such barriers, a modification of biowaste -Orange Peel Powder (OPP) by the generation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is prepared with the one-step hydrothermal process. The modified Orange Peel Powder (MOPP), is then characterized by FESEM, EDX, FT-IR, XRD, and Thermal analyses. The presence of AgNPs in the MOPP is confirmed through FESEM & EDX analysis. FT-IR spectral analysis pronounced the non mutate functional groups in MOPP as compared with OPP. The generation of AgNPs in MOPP is confirmed through the XRD peaks of reflection planes atThermal Analysis results of TGA and DSC show the MOPP has increased thermal stability up to 363°C.Antibacterial test against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria for OPP & MOPP shows the inclusion of Ag strongly objects the pathogens. Eventually, the MOPP can be utilized as filler material along with the polymer matrix in high thermal as well as antibacterial composite filler applications.
