Kadarkaraithangam Jeyasubramanian,Ubendran Upeksha Gopalakrishnan Thoppey,G.S. Hikku,N. Selvakumar,A. Subramania,Karthikeyan Krishnamoorthy +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrated the uptake of iron oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles by spinach via hydroponics and examined its effects on the growth rate and productivity of the spinach plant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Corrosion resistance behaviour of graphene/polyvinyl alcohol nanocomposite coating for aluminium-2219 alloy
TL;DR: In this paper, the preparation of graphene blended polyvinyl alcohol (G-PVA) nanocomposite was used as an effective corrosion resistance coating for Aluminum-2219 alloy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photo-catalytic degradation of methyl violet dye using zinc oxide nano particles prepared by a novel precipitation method and its anti-bacterial activities
TL;DR: In this paper, the preparation of zinc oxide nano particles (ZnO NPs) using a very simple, efficient precipitation method was described, and the photo-catalytic property of ZnO NP was studied using UV-vis spectroscopy for the degradation of methyl violet (MV) by exposing to sunlight.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fabrication of water repellent cotton fabric by coating nano particle impregnated hydrophobic additives and its characterization
TL;DR: In this paper, a mixture of polyvinyl chloride, copper stearate and Fe 2 O 3 /Cr 2O 3 nanoparticles was applied to the surface of cotton fabrics.
Journal ArticleDOI
