Recent Advances in Smart Polymer Composites for Plant Health Monitoring: A Strategic Integration of Sensing Mechanisms and Computational Intelligence
Abstract: Plant health assessment is crucial for agricultural production and food security, as plant diseases significantly affect crop yields and quality. This paper reviews the applications of polymers and composite materials in the evaluation of plant health, focusing on both natural and artificial polymers, carbon materials, and polymeric–nanoparticle composite materials. Various types of sensing principles, such as colorimetry, fluorimetry, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and interferometry, are …

Silver Particles coating on polypropylene matrix for bacterial filter property
Abstract: Silver particles have a wide range of biomedical applications, including their use as drug. In this paper, we report on the synthesis of silver particles using crude aqueous extract of Manihot esculenta leaf extract. Two different (conventional stirring and ultrasonic) methods were employed in the reduction of AgNO3 process. Native extract as well Ag colloidal extract were checked cytotoxicity against Human Cervical Carcinoma cell. The anti cancer results achieved excellent …
