Extraction and Characterization of Nanocellulose from Saw Dust
Abstract: In this work, nanocellulose was extracted and fibrillated from wooden saw dust of Malaysian wood. The fibrillation of cellulose nanoparticles was done by two major steps such as chemical pre-treatment and acid hydrolysis. Firstly, the saw dust was pre-treated with alkali, and then de-waxing of saw dust was done. Then cellulose was extracted. Finally, it was chemically washed etc. The extracted chemically purified cellulose was further treated with acid hydrolysis …

A Benign Route for the Synthesis of MgO Nanoparticles and Their Antifungal Activity
Abstract: Magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO NP’s) with particle size 50±10 nm were prepared by hydrothermal method and further characterized by X-ray Diffractometry (XRD) and high resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The prepared MgO NP’s were also evaluated for their antifungal activity against Trichothecium roseum, Cladosporium herbarum, and Alternaria alternata. The antifungal activity of the synthesized nanoparticles against the selected fungi was assessed as reduction in spore germination and by …
